What customers say
About two years at this time, I discovered Weldon Color Lab and for me it was serendipitous. I was on the verge of publishing a coffee table book on the Texas Courthouses and had given up hope of finding a lab to print matte photographs to hand-color.
The *only* print lab I will ever use! I have my own gallery with 18 pieces in total they’re the only lab I trust to give me a product that can deliver the quality that I promise my clients
The team at Weldone are great. They interact on each print prior to printing including advice on exposure, cropping, focus, grain, flaws, then remedy as needed. I have had 3 beautiful prints made using their FujiFlex process. Each has been delivered safely to Brooklyn NY.
This is one of the oldest fine art printing and mouting labs left in America and I have been aware of their reputation for more than two decades. John Weldon is highly regarded in the photography industry as one of the best fine art printers in both black and white and color.
