Default are the negatives of underexposed prints salvageable?

Hi,

Firstly, I'm a total amateur.

I used 800 Fuji Press for the first time because I bought a long zoom
for a Volga trip. I sent 12 rolls to a local lab for developing and the
prints are awful - totally dark. The balance of the rolls I sent to a
Fuji lab and they came out fine.

Is there any way of ascertaining whether the negatives of the
underexposed prints can be re-done successfully?

Thanks,
Bonnie


As Mr Ellis stated -compare the negatives of the good versus the bad
that way you"ll have an idea whether the bad ones were exposed properly.
If they look lighter or a lot lighter then perhaps no.

As for the initial development one can only hope the first lab didn't
screw up the Color balance beyond what is printable.
