My family uses Seattle Filmworks for our "snapshots". My impression of only their color prints is that I would not use the images for archival purposes, and am not impressed with the image quality.I think what Seattle Filmworks does is excellent for what my family use their services for. I would think your project would require superior services to what they can do. You should not go cheap.
