I am certain someone on this list mentioned that they had successfully
processed Scala in their own darkroom.  Perhaps they could re-post or you
may find it in the archives.  It is expensive in the UK also, probably
equivalent to 20-25 USD.  It makes for great projected images, prints very
well (sometimes can get a greenish or pinkish hue in enlargements) and scans
beautifully.

Now that I am using the Conetech Piezography BW printing system I can scan
and get superb A3+ size enlargements printed at home, without the colour
cast that the labs sometimes get.  Try printing with the BW inkset (if you
have it) on Epson Heavyweight Matte - it does real justice to the quality of
a Scala slide.
