Even seeing it from not a hard core darkroom end but from a "i want a black and
white snapshot" end they make black and white proofing paper now which goes
through the same RA4 machines making C prints.
Print color need not be an issue, the black and white paper is neutral.
Anyway printcolor when they use color paper is going to vary a lot from batch to batch.
People have there stuff just run through again if the don't like the funny color
they can get another funny color.
But again a moot point as these guys can use the black and white paper.
