welcome from kitchener/waterloo [also noticed Graham from KW on the previous page!]
if you find yourself in the area and i happen to have chems at the time, i could show you color printing
as for color developing, wal-mart does 1 hour [usually less] color develop-only for something like $2.36... if you're concerned about minilab operators, just wait to speak to the manager of the minilab and explain that you would greatly appreciate if they take utmost care in developing your negs
as long as you're not paranoid, wal-mart is great
if you are, great places in toronto do dip-and-dunk processing
