kind words

Hey guys! Thanks again for the fantastic development work! Picking up my first set of 3D Holga pix today was--as I'm sure you could tell from my excitement--SUPER FUN!!
-Dennis B.

To the folks @ Photolab-- 
I called yesterday to get something rushed & you guys did it overnight! You are AMAZING thank you for being the best lab ever!
Thank you so much!
-Chris at L.G.

"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 Saucier, Oakland

Chrome on Paper Kodak Metallic Paper has a glossy finish and metallic-looking appearance which creates images with exceptional visual interest and depth. Try it for portraits (sports, special events, youth and wedding) and displays. Photographers have described the look as “chrome on paper." Looks great with B&W too.

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.

Giclée  The word giclée 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. Giclée 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.

Silver Gelatin! Since 1970, Photolab has been working with photographers and other artists to print and to show-case 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!!
