What Process do I choose?
C-41 - this is the most common colour film and is what you’ll find in most disposable cameras. Ilford XP2 (a black and white film) is also C-41 process.
Black and White - These cannisters will specify black and white and will be hand processed in our lab on a Tuesday and a Friday.
ECN2 - This is a move film stock available in a variety of speeds, most canisters should state the process as it sadly can’t go through our C-41 machines and is hand processed on Wednesdays.*
E6 - This is a slide process which produces a positive roll of film meaning we don’t need to convert your film from a negative. A much more delicate process which can produce incredible results when exposed correctly.

Resolutions may differ depending on film format!
Do you supply Archival Sleeves?
We deliver cut film in strips of 6 as default, but we are able to supply archival film sleeves as an extra cost (this can be added via the film extras below).
Can you push/pull?
Yes! This can be added below in our processing extras. Pushing and pulling Black and white film can be a great way to test varying aesthetics of a film stock.
Colour film can also be pushed and pulled, although a lot of the time you won’t see a speed increase and depending on how the film was shot you may not see much of a difference apart from an increase in grain and lack of depth in shadows.
*ECN2 - We will always aim to process your ECN2 film with the corresponding ECN2 chemistry, however, at times when stock is unavailable we will process ECN2 in C-41 chemistry. This is technically a cross-process but does yield good results which we believe still produces a good quality negative from this film. If this is of concern and you have a preference either way, please don't hesitate to get in contact!
What are Frontier Framelines?
On our Fuji Frontier Sp3000 scanners we can increase the magnification setting so it produces an overscan of the film and includes the holder. This is not the same as black borders (which you can achieve using Noritsu scanners) or ‘sprocket scanning’ (which is achieved by using a medium format manual holder). The result is a rough border to the frame scan and an additional white border to the file.
