The quality of his mini lab produced prints far exceeds anything I have been able to find close to home or office since moving to Toronto almost 3 years ago. This includes 1 hour type places and send it away type places. I have never received a roll back that was not scratched, most prints have dust, and the colour is usually off if not shot outside. None have equipment which analyses each frame. Most will reprint to correct when asked, but not all. Based on my limited experience, I think the mini labs are better on your side of the Atlantic.
