Did you win something in the SCGaynor auction last week?

I'd be careful and use a top lab that can do museum quality work even at a premium. Many labs send their work out of house, meaning your glasss plate would get tossed in an envelope, with stacks of other envelopes, and get impersonal care when it comes to the print. There are people who specialize in archival prints from all types of negatives, and they handle accounts for museums, and big name artists too.

It might even be a good idea to create a 4x5 negative dupe if you're going to do a buncha prints.

This comes from my experience working with some rock photojournalists. I'm curious to hear what Mr. Cycleback says.
