Ilford opens US lab to meet demand for black and white film development
Following its 15 years of success in England, ILFORD's mail-in black and white film processing and printing will now be more readily available to North American customers thanks to the new lab in San Clemente, California. As digital photography has taken over, most local labs can no longer provide processing of true black and white film, nor can they print on real silver gelatin paper, instead opting to print black and white images on color paper.
The ILFORD LAB DIRECT mail-in service 'can process any make of black and white film, and prints will be made on ILFORD black and white paper,' according to the company. ILFORD LAB DIRECT accepts 35mm and 120, and turnaround time is 2-4 working days. Basic film development costs $16, which includes 6-megapixel medium scans. See the site for more.
