What customers say
My cousin and I went to The LAB after our grandmother passed away last year. We had spent hours going through old photo negatives and family albums, both at home and in their office, trying to find the perfect photos that captured our matriarch's full life.
The Lab went above and beyond to ensure that my print would be as good as possible. I brought in a photo of a work of art that I had made and asked them to print it. They said they would, but asked if I could bring in the art itself so they could color match. I did.
I’ve been in photography since 1965. I took and processed black and white for many years as well as slides. I worked as a b&w printer for a few years. Before digital I would use internegs to print my color slides. I have no idea how long I have used The Lab- I remember it was previously owned by a fellow named Rick.
This is the BEST photo processing facility in the north bay. They use a Chromira printer and you will not see better colors, depth or clarity anywhere else. The owner sends you a proof to review before printing the hard copy. They can produce prints up to 30 inches.
