I've used San Miguel photo lab in Las Vegas New Mexico (www.bestlab.com).  
They use a digital LCD enlarger and can print on a huge variety of papers 
including fiber.

Subject: [Leica] Digital FIBER prints

Recently I started to use a Lightjet for prints. The quality is very high 
and it's fast and convenient.

BUT there is something missing. 

I only print black and white and the Lightjet prints are made on a resin 
paper (RC), which just isn't
as nice as a wet fiber print.

Finally, after a very long search I seem to have found a shop that will do 
digital prints on FIBER paper.
Not RC or color print paper, but honest to goodness fiber paper. Or so at 
least they claim.

The prints aren't cheap and the shop is located in Canada.

I haven't ordered a print from them, yet, but plan on doing so shortly.

Has anyone used these guys?


cheers,

Feli
