Custom Printing
We offer custom black & white silver gelatin prints from negatives as large as 8x10 on papers of any size up to 20x24. Kodak Dektol is our standard developer, though we do offer optional developers. We will print on standard, economical resin papers as well as fine gallery-quality fiber papers. Options are available in paper surfaces and tone. All prints are tray-processed, and are burned, dodged, 

and spotted as necessary. Negatives needing exceptional attention to processing detail may incur additional charges. Please inquire.

Most film formats don't actually fit standard paper sizes without cropping. The prices noted are for paper size. Specify full paper with ¼" border, full paper without border, or full frame. Full paper sizes are most likely cropped to some degree, dependent on film format. Full frame is not cropped, but will provide for larger, unequal borders. Please notify us of any specific cropping, or we will print as much of the full image as possible. We will not exercise artistic compositional judgment without your direction.

Budget Printing

Negatives are printed with good exposure and contrast , but without burning, dodging, or spotting. Negatives are printed full-frame with ¼" borders on the longer dimension. These prints are tray-processed using Sprint or Kodak Dektol developer.

Choose budget printing for proofs or working prints, or when price is a greater factor than quality.

Print Toning
We offer toning of our black & white prints. Selenium increases tonal range and print permanence. Sepia produces warm brown or yellow-brown tones, dependent on paper, and increases print permanence. Archival gold offers the greatest print protection with minimal tone change. We offer other toner options for interesting effects though they provide little or no additional print protection.

Film Processing

We tank process black & white roll films by hand using Sprint chemistry. Sheets films are tank or tray-processed. We do offer optional developers for a small surcharge. We do not currently process C-41 or E-6 films.

Roll films are cut as appropriate. Please let us know if you prefer your film uncut. Films are loaded into archival pages or glassines as appropriate.

Old Film Processing
With some adaptations to standard film processing, we can develop outdated black & white films. These include Verichrome, Panchromatic, and Ansco All Weather Films, among others, in formats including 35mm, 120, 620, 220, 127, 116 and 616, to name a few. Results will vary greatly due to age and storage conditions, but we have had success with film expired 40 years or more. Due to labor and materials involved, we will not be able to issue credit for less than satisfactory results.
Old Film Processing - Develop Only and loaded into archival pages or glassines as appropriate. Priced per roll.
Contact Sheets of Old Film at the Time of Development are priced per sheet. Some films will require two or more sheets depending on format.
