"I want to say thank you
for the beautiful job you did
on my prints in preparation
for last weekend's Open Studio
tour. I did quite well in the
sale of my prints, greeting
cards and bookmarks
-- given the down economy.

 Thank you also for the suggestion to
enlarge some of the images. They
were displayed prominently
and received lots of attention"
--Elizabeth S., Oakland

“I think you are just the
world’s most efficient lab!
Not only were my photos beautifully done but they also arrived quickly. I even got a call  from Ginger that my
package had shipped. I can’t thank you enough for the wonderful job!”

- Nancy W., Berkeley

 Giclee  The word giclee is derived from the French word for spray and refers to the technical manner in which the ink jets spray pigmented inks onto specialized coated archival substrates. Giclee prints are also called archival pigment prints.

Photolab Studio prints are made with archival pigment inks that are suspended micro-encapsulated chemicals with extremely pure color characteristics and high end watercolor papers or canvas. This is in contrast to inks found in low cost desktop inkjet printers. Our print-makers have been studying and working in the industry since its earliest days in the 1990s.

Art Reproduction  Photolab will scan and master a digital image of your original artwork. Watercolor, charcoal and pencil drawings, oil paintings and mixed media all lend themselves well to this technique. Our art reproduction process allows you to make unlimited (or limited edition) prints in sizes larger, smaller or the same as your original. Our giclee printing studio system uses high end Epson and Canon printers, custom software rips, proprietary profiles and hardware calibration throughout.

Silver Gelatin! Since 1970, Photolab has been working with photographers to print and to show-case traditional photography. As a photo lab business, we started out as a primarily black and white custom photo lab.

Today, our traditional darkroom is still booming as the value of silver gelatin prints increases (and becomes more rare!)

Each year we print artists' entire exhibitions to be shown in museums and galleries. Our skilled techs have years of fine art experience that keeps the magic of silver photography alive and well!!

Toy camera fans will be amazed at our fast film processing and the unique borders you can get for your Holga, Diana and Lomo prints. Stereo 3D Holga owners can even order stereo prints from us.
