My local lab won't mount EIR but they only charge about $3 for processing.
I can mount them myself at that price! Actually I rarely mount them. Those
I digitize I just use the film carrier on my scanner, and when I print
them I just use a standard negative carrier. They never get projected so
the mount is not that important to me. Your mileage may vary.
