p.1 #3 · *Recommendations Wanted for Fine Art Paper Printing Labs**
There are a lot of variables when selecting fine art printing papers. Some papers work better on a PC than a Mac (Epson) unless you are OS X 10.2. What type of printer do you own? Your individual taste is another consideration, i.e., the look and feel. Until you narrow it down, there are only going to be responder recommendations of what they think is the optimum paper. Experimentation is part of photography.

Borderlight, I think he's asking for companies that actually do the printing. Not a paper recommendation.
Sorry, you're right. I used to know a few in the wet darkroom age, but they weren't really a company in the larger sense of the word but more like an individual (B&W) printer for a select group of higher-end photographers. As you would expect, it was costly. Using one individual printer instead of it being farmed out to many within a company kept consistency even. Anyway, elite printers are searchable like anything else.
