I posted a list, over on the LF forum, of labs in the US that still do Cibachrome / Ilfochrome, and I'm posting it here again for the benefit of all who don't venture over there. I hope we can keep these labs in business thereby preserving an important traditional craft. The list was compiled from various online sources. Since I'm based in the United States, the labs in the list are all located in the US: for this, I apologize to our non-US friends. Please feel free to add any information to the list as is relevant. In no particular order:
Colorchrome Atlanta
Atlanta, GA
(404) 321-0009
(800) 241-2545

Colorchrome Atlanta no longer makes Ilfochrome or C-Prints. They provide only inkjet prints.

I will, let me know what you find out.Are you serious? Damnit that really really sucks. Maybe I can try to convince Bubba to do a smaller run for me. If he'll agree and you want in, PM me.
Here's another lab that does Cibachrome / Ilfochrome printing:
Michael Wilder / Photography
Hamilton, MT

...have been having all sorts of trouble finding the chemicals for my ICP-42.
Photographic Traditions of Maine has closed. I am not using Visual-Imaging who has the best prices out of any Ilfochrome lab I have ever seen. It is $14 for an 8X10 Dead Link Removed
$285 for an 8X10!!??
If that's true, it would be the biggest rip-off, almost unspeakable as a crime to photographers, ever heard of in Ciba/Ilfochrome printing. Down here in Australia the most it's ever costed is: AUD$20 set up (masking etc.), AUD$57 1-2, AUD$41.00 3>). It isn't difficult to extrapolate to USD. My printer has four decades of experience so I would really, really question the price being charged for that 8x10. Obscene.
It looks to me that this is for exhibition quality custom printing that can/will include custom masking. It isn't cheap in any way, but it may very well be of sufficient quality to be worth considering at $285.00 (for the first print at least).
