I further understand that machines can have a channel set up to do this printing with no problem. If your lab is having problem then maybe they should approach Kodak for instructions. Certainly it scans and prints very well.

Then are prints supposed to be on color paper or black & white paper? I used Kodak lab through local Longs which process as developing and printing color film on color paper. So prints do not look real black & white. Kodak lab does not seem to know anything about this film.
