Digital Labs in SF

Any high end photo buffs?

I'm looking for a prosumer quality lab that can drum scan a couple 35mm negatives for me (40-50MB file size).

I also need a lab that owns a LightJet and can do some medium format LightJet prints for me.

Would prefer a shop that does both (though I'd a ssume that any shop that owns a LightJet owns a drum scanner).

Has to be in the City. TIA

This guy used to work out of his house and had three rooms full of printers, scanners and computers. He does great work for cheap, but he is in concord so that might be too far for you. He printed some 16x20s for me a while back that I scanned and ps'd myself and they came out great.

Thanks for the link - but I see no evidence of a LightJet - thats a must have for me. The Epson 10000 they have is a great printer, but its still inkjet

The things I'm printing need to last 100+ years, and nothing but a LightJet can do that for a digital print.

Forgot to mention - money is basically no object here. I'm expecting to pay 60+ per print (10x15) and 60+ for the scan.

A 10x15 can be printed on any fuji frontier machine. The frontier uses the same crystal archive paper that most lightjets use. The hard part will be getting a quality scan, but after that you can have it printed anywhere.

I'm looking for bigger than that. More like 20" Can a frontier do that? If so, know a shop that has one?

The frontier's max size is 10x15. There is a shop in berkeley that has a lightjet...I think it is called the Lightroom. I've never been there so I can't comment on their services. Good luck.
