Lab Services & Pricing

OUR PROCESS

1. Preparing your Film Order

Print out one of our order forms, fill in your contact information and all applicable areas (scan service, return negative option, quantity, process, film size,  push/pull, scan size, etc). Include any important information you need to convey to us about your film under the Special Instructions area.

2. Send off your Film Order

Safely place your film in a zip tie bag along with your order form. We encourage the use of a box to place your film into before sending it off (this tends to help keep your film safe while in transit). We also urge you to use any carrier mail service that allows you to track your package while it’s on its journey to our lab. Once your film has arrived to our lab location, you will be notified by email with a breakdown of your order.

3. Custom Color Profile

The Custom Color Profile (Premium Scan Option Only) is the building block for each one of our clients. Each client’s style is unique and we want to reflect your personal shooting style and look.

We are the part of your team that handles the film you shoot; we can give you important information that you may not normally get back about your film. We pay close attention to your film while it’s here at our lab. We handle each and every film negative from our clients and feel this gives you the best results that you demand. 

Working together with open dialogue, we are able to achieve the high standard in creating an amazing film photograph.

4. Invoicing

As soon as we receive your film, you will receive an invoice which will include information on your order. Please be sure to review your invoices for any changes you may need in processing. Every invoice will include your “estimated date of completion.” This allows you to have a clear time frame for when to expect your finished order in good faith.

5. Processing

After you have received your invoice from us, we move onto the next step, which is developing/processing your film negatives. We process all C-41 and B&W film in-house, allowing us to control the quality and consistency with film development. We monitor our chemistry everyday to keep a strict, high standard to ensure our processing/developing is as true as possible at all times.

6. Scanning

This is where your film negative becomes a digital image. We scan using Fuji Frontier SP-3000 scanners at our lab. These scanners allow our skilled scanning technicians the level of control over each and every frame, providing us the ability to make each and every frame consistent with your own Custom Preference Profile.

7. Delivery

Once the film orders have been scanned and our skilled editors have done the final quality control on the final images, we are now ready to deliver your order. You will receive an email notification from us via Dropbox once your order has been completed. Orders typically will be active in Dropbox for 3 weeks after initial delivery before being removed. Your film negatives will be handled as marked on your order form when you originally mailed in your film order.
