Black & White Photo Services

We operate a hand processing service for conventional B&W films, then print to all the standard sizes from mini-prints to A4 size with or without borders on our mini-lab using colour print paper.

Service time is typically 24 hours, and quality is very good.

Despite using colour paper, you can expect true mono-chromatic results as the quality of the scanner on our lab is sooooo good, alternatively, - you can ask for a blanket colour cast over all your photos. e.g. Sepia, blue, magenta, etc.

TOP TRIVIA The word 'sepia' comes from the Latin for Cuttlefish. When startled, the cuttlefish, like octopus and squid release an ink into the water to confuse enemies. Cuttlefish ink is dark yellow / brown.

Chromogenic Films

These hybrid films include Ilford XP2 & Kodak T400CN T-MAX ( recommended )

Spectrum Imaging offers a 29-minute service on these films, and a large range of sizes.

This type of 'Black & White' film is actually a C41 colour type film that gives monochromatic results. The difference is that C41 colour type film use dyes that create the image, whereas true B & W films use silver metal density to create a shadow of the image; - hence the chemical process is completely different.

Chromogenic films give very good results, and we process them as standard colour films, but print them using specific data appropriate for good mono results.

All types of B & W film are suitable for home printing / re-printing in your darkroom.
