WOW! Better Than I'd Ever Imagined! In the mid-90's I gave up my B&W darkroom but, sadly, I left behind some unprinted difficult-to-print negatives. Fast-forward to 2022. I decided to find a service which would digitize my b&w negatives, then find a quality lab to print the edited images. I am so happy to report that Fromex exceeded my every expectation re: the quality and price of the service. And the speed in which they fulfilled my order blew me away. Now I'm left wondering "What if I'd saved more of those difficult negatives...?"

good Buisness Awesome. Unbeknownst to me prints were lost in the mail. Owner quickly corrected and sent out a new set of prints. I spend time meticulously adjusting the depth of blacks, highlights, contrast, definition etc, every time the quality of prints match my expectations. Even sent some iPhone black and whites images in just to see how they would turn out and I remain pleasantly surprised. Ordering is easy and prints arrive promptly. Quite satisfied.

Good service and high quality printing for a just price. Turnaround time was very fast. The image, printed at 10 x 15 on photographic silver gelatin paper from a 35 mm TrI-X negative scanned as a .tif 6200 x 4500 pixels, displayed a full tonal range with almost no grain. Excellent detail in highlights and shadows. Archival quality for $24 door to door is a bargain.

The difference between screen view and… The difference between screen view and finished product-in terms of exposure-is more than I am accustomed to. Typically I brighten about 10-20. Fromex requires about 30. Also, some of the images are actually less sharp than drugstore printing. If you use a true b&w process, I am not sure if you are creating a negative or how you process, but in my mind the images should be a bit sharper.

Fromex: high standards, excellent service For years, I have ordered jewel case desk photo calendars from Fromex, and recently decided to try their True Black and White photo printing. I have ordered and received only one batch of images so far, but they are of the highest quality - much better than those from the online printing service I had been using, and well worth the extra expense. I also appreciate that my prints are promptly delivered and arrive in good shape.
