I used to work in the control dept of a London lab., and it could become tricky when the powers that be decided to print a black and white job on colour stock, as it required some pretty off standard grading (timing in the US), or an off standard printer set up. This isn't the worse problem, as a slight change in the developer characteristics will give it a bias in whatever direction the bath may have shifted, losing the neutral black and white image. Some labs may start off with, say, a green bias in the first place to lessen the effect. Later, off course, the print layers can fade, too. Not good news, fortunately we didn't do a lot. End of boring lecture - happy new year! [ December 22, 2011, 07:45 AM: Message edited by: Allan Broadfield ]
