Default Developing photos in the north

ok guys...we all have heard about BM, KT, ML and a few others recommended by the members in here. However, it seems that all the of these shops are out of the way in my case. As I am currently working and living in the same neighbourhood and can only have time to travel out of the neighbourhood on weekends, would really appreciate if you would recommend any shops that are in the north...yishun, woodlands, sembawang and amk. muchos gracias.

You can try the CyberActive Fuji lab at Yishun Central (few shops to the left of UOB), they are using the new Fuji Frontier machines, but what piss me off is their prices. It cant even compare to KT's, they are still pricing themselves to the 90's.

Heard from another CSer that the lab at Sembawang MRT is pretty good, and pricing is ard 0.30 - 0.35 per 4R. You may wanna give this place a try.

Probably because your CRT / LCD monitor is not properly calibrated.

If your friend own a spyder 2, borrow from them and re-adjust yr color

The best is own a LCD screen ...

Does it matter? You are talking about Good Print or comparing Brands?
