At that time there were a number of local places that I could get GOOD C-41 processing without handling problems etc. so it was a good alternative for me. My favourite was Kodak T-Max 400CN which (sadly) is no longer available, but I have found that the Fuji Neopan 400CN is a very good alternative which scans excellently with good contrast and virtually non-existant grain. However the problem now is that there is nowhere locally that will do professional standard C-41 processing. I never did like the Ilford version, and the suggestion that you down rate it to 200iso made it a bit of a non-starter for me. As for printing, I cannot comment because (as stated above) I started using chromogenic when I did away with my darkroom. However I see no reason why t should not print well once you get used to it but it does tend to have a lower contrast level. It certainly scans very well.
