Yes . . . the two I use do . . . it's one of the things I asked about and
periodically ensure they're still doing . . . presuming "commercial =
professional full service." However one must pay extra for optical
prints. The cost of optically printing B&W on resin (at one lab) and on
fiber (at the other), surprisingly isn't that bad. An optically printed
Ilfochrome costs about twice as much . . . but even a "commercial" Ilfo on
a German Flex-20 (IIRC a scan and laser print process) isn't cheap . . .
the Ilfochrome and its developing is a big piece of the pie.
