Printing

A photograph is not finished on a screen

Darkroom prints on silver gelatin paper, and archival inkjet up to A2. Order from scans we already hold, or upload your own files — and the lab that prints it is a lab you picked.

Wet process

Darkroom

Printed by hand under an enlarger onto fibre or resin-coated silver gelatin paper, then washed and dried flat. Dodging and burning to your notes if you send them. Black and white only — which is the point.

Two ways in

From your gallery

Print a scan we already hold

Open any roll in your scan gallery, pick the frames, choose a size and paper. The lab already has the file at full resolution, so nothing is uploaded and nothing is recompressed.

From your own files

Upload what you have

TIFF or JPEG, any scanner, any source. You will be told before you pay if a file is too small for the size you picked, rather than after the print is made.
