Before my local "good" mini lab went out of business in June, he would develop and print for me a set of proofs on colour paper just for viewing purposes(and aslo he did not have to change papers etc for one roll of film just for proofing). I got an idea which one(s)were good enough to print and got to see some pretty funky colour patterns on the proofs. Every now and again, one of the proofs had a really good sepia tone to it and i would frame that one. He also did not sell or received to print many C41 B&W films,but could work with them. Mind you i have only shot 1/2 dozen rolls or so,so YMMV.
Also tried to do a conventional darkroom print,but found it lacked in contrast.Not a bad print,just mostly grey and black not black and white. It does seem to scan well though.
