Until it's demise earlier this year, Palmer Photographic here in Sacramento offered B&W photographic prints from their LightJet printer.  A photographer could scan the neg, clean up the dust & scratches, adjust contrast, density & such with Photoshop, then hand a print-ready file to the lab.  As with a well-crafted color image, the B&W LightJet prints were fantastic.  Does anyone know if other labs with LightJet printers offer B&W?
