The local pro lab that I use is Calypso Imaging. They are about 1.5 miles
from me which makes it very convenient. I don't know if they deal via mail
or not. Their number is 800-749-2755. e-mail: calypso@aol.com . I also use
a "master printer" in Laguna Beach, CA. His name is Dave Adams. He is a
perfectionist and serves a very limited clientele. His number is
714-497-1107, e-mail: 71207.2627@compuserve.com. He prints only Ilfochrome,
up to 20x24. He is a really nice guy so if you call him, be prepared to
talk for awhile. Tell him I told you to call. There is another Ilfochrome
only shop in Berkeley, CA that does a lot of business by mail. I've never
used them. You can get to them via the www at  http://www.lightroom.com/ .
In my estimation, Dave Adams is the finest Ciba printer around. It is his
passion.
