Fully agree Jim. One limitation occurs to me in relation to the 'top end service' Your wizards will make their assement of corrections and adjustments based on what the see on THEIR monitor in the lab - this result might not conform to the results when viewed on the customers' home monitor...which leads us into the thorny subject of monitor calibration...OK, let's not go there, but I thought it was a point worth making. Also, there's the implicit assumption that the results will on be viewed on-screen - what about good 'ol hard copy? This raises another one of the 'dark arts' - printer driver calibration for a specific paper type. Years ago I was told by an Apple Store assitant ('Genius' I think they called them) that printing was "...so old school..."
Any opinion on the Kinetronics StaticVac for use with B&W? I've had a fantastic experience with mine, and I find it odd I've never seen labs on RUclips using them. Great video!
Good question! I'll take it to the lab team - we do have some extra gadgets that I didn't run through that help with automatic physical dust removal - but that's not one of them... Thanks for the tip 😊 - Paul
I used to work in a large mass processing lab, and the attention to detail as you've described was absent. Keeping the process running was more important than the customers' photos, unfortunately, and the prints were just as they came out of the machine - no test strips or anything. Of course, we weren't scanning back then, just d&p, but it was disheartening to see it.
We get that 🥲 And we hope the care and attention to detail the lab team put into your orders is clear when you get your scans ❤️ Thanks for the support

Thanks for this honest explanation of the strengths and limitations of your lab service! Most informative.
