Black & White
films: We
process black & white standard films in Ilford Ilfotech DD film developer at
standard dilution. ILFOTECH provides increased film speed with greater
enlargability of negatives. Correctly exposed negatives developed in
ILFOTEC have a full range of tones, with depth in the shadows, a smooth
transition through the mid-tones and bright detailed highlights. Our film processor for standard film development is a Kreonite Dip and Dunk machine with nitrogen burst agitation for even and repeatable results. We can push and pull film in quarter stop increments. We can process all B&W Infrared films with great success. About Photolab Film Processing by Hand Photolab uses several special developers for customers who request hand processing to their specifications. We use Acufine, HC110, FG7 and more (please ask) and process in tanks and reels, the traditional way. About Photolab C41 Color Negative Film Processing We process 135, 120 and 220 C41 color films. Push and pull service is available. About Photolab C41 Cross Processing We can cross process color films in our C41 processsor. This means we processing slide film, usually a E6 process, in color negative chemistry. Flickr has some interesting examples of this technique.

Silver
Gelatin Prints
Photolaboratory.com makes custom black and white silver gelatin
prints on traditional black and white papers that have been used for
generations to make the highest quality, most stable photographic
images. Many of these traditional papers are still available
today. These papers, also known as silver gelatin, are washed and dried
according to archival specifications. Both fiber based and resin coated
papers can be toned with selenium or sepia for even more archival
stability. Fiber based papers can be enhanced with these and other
toners to achieve unusual results. |
