High End Lab Experience

[unregistered]

I don't know which lab you used but you got ripped off. Being a professional, high-end lab owner myself, I can tell you that you should have received exactly what you requested and with no damage to the surface. Since paper doesn't come 30x40, it had to be cut from a roll. The right way to do this is to cut it bigger than what the final paper size would be, process it, then after dried and flattened, trim it down to the right size. Freshly cut edged can swell and give a tattered look, so doing a final trim at the end fixes that.

Should you want to get better results in the future, and don't mind shipping your negs to Atlanta, feel free to contact me.

I'd rather not identify the lab.

Protecting a lab that's ripped you off is not a good choice in my books, but, it's your choice. I do hope it all turns out OK in the end.
