A practical starting point

Before you bring it in

A few things to consider before you choose, visit or send an enquiry.

01

Before dropping off a roll

Write a roll identifier, your contact details, film format, required process, scan preference and negative-return choice. Keep a copy of the identifiers so the handover can be checked.

02

Planning a print

Measure the space or frame first, note image versus sheet dimensions, and discuss paper and proofing before approving a run.

03

Keeping a scan delivery organised

Use a folder per order and a consistent roll-and-frame naming pattern. Retain the original files separately from edited copies.

Before you get in touch

Useful questions.

How do I arrange a film drop-off?

Contact us first to confirm accepted stock, the process, output and return arrangements. We will agree the handover or shipping details before you send anything.

Does a scan include a print?

No. Scanning and printing are separate parts of an order, so please tell us which output you need.

Can damaged or expired film be processed?

Tell us what you know about the stock and its storage before handing it over. We can discuss the order, but no usable result can be guaranteed.
