final oral presentation and a final exam tomorrow and I get 3 weeks off. YAY!!!

Battou,
C-41 or E6? both are cheap and easy enough to do at home that you really should. If you need more details, shoot me a PM or email.

C-41, This whole ordeal is not as simple as just doing my film in house, I'm so pissed I'm going for commercial equipment and I'm targeting their customers.

My displeasure for their processing has been growing since Rite Aid changed over to Fuji processing, it started out with prolonged wait periods going from two days to seven or ten days, Common inncodents of damaged prints and negitives, then there where several inccodents of this[url] and then I gave them one last chance and filled out the "special instructions" box provided on the send out envelope in Big Red Letters "No Prints - Film Only"...they ignored it and sent me twenty two sets of double prints instead.....Ah, no, unacceptable, this little inncodent damn near cost me in exccess of two hundred dollars.

I'm sorry, you don't provide a special instructions box if it's going to be ignored. Now, I called the processing lab to ***** about it and the support staff sais, "That is not a service we provide"....No, I don't give a rats ass, you simply do not ignore special instructions pertaining to a service you don't offer and then process under a different service and billing for that service, If you don't offer that service, you don't process it, return it with a note saying we don't offer this service.

The only reason this did not cost me over two hundred bucks is the fact that I am the best film customer my local Rite Aid branch has, I paid fifty bucks for my negitives and left.

I may very well shoot you that PM but I don't know when, I have to start comming up with the money for equipment and get the equipment first.

battou, email me off list, I can give you some pointers and suggestions. Running a roller transport machine is expensive if you're only doing 10-20 rolls per day, as well as being next to impossible to keep in control. Equipment cost is literally negligible, I've turned down at least a dozen machines this year alone, including a nice Colex 12 inch roller transport machine. The expensive part is the printing, a frontier goes for big money, the 370 we have at the studio can be replaced for ~30K.

At first I thought you were talking about rolling hay bails.
