WHY CHOOSE US?
Film Processing
All 135/120 Format Color Negative film rolls that we receive will be processed with Noritsu QSF-V30 Processional Film Processor loaded with genuine and fresh batch of FUJI HUNT C41 Chemical.
Advantages of using Noritsu QSF-V30
The Noritsu QSF-V30 is a film processor from the V-Series, known for its advanced design features and state-of-the-art technology during the golden era of film photography. It's designed for professional use, particularly in photo labs and studios that need efficient and reliable film processing.
- Fast Processing Time.
- Fully automated which helps to reduce risk and chance of error occurring.
- Consistent and high quality results.
- V30 is capable of processing varieties of film formats such as 135 and 120/220.
- Our machine undergoes maintenance regularly to ensure that everything is in tip-top condition. Maintenance is performed by technicians within our lab so customers don't need to worry about long downtime.
Why we use FUJI HUNT C41 Chemicals instead of KODAK?
Unfortunately, Kodak discontinued the production and sale of Kodak chemicals back in 2023. After experimenting with C41 Chemical Kits from multiple brands such as Fuji, Tenetal, Champion etc, we believe that Fuji Chemical offers the best quality so we made the switch.
- Fully compatible with professional film processors such as the QSF-V30.
- Formulated to provide excellent performance.
- Less effluent discharged (Iron, chelates and ammonia).
- Robust bleaching performance.
- Fewer drying marks.
- Less makeovers and retouching.
Film Scanning
All films regardless of processing method will be scanned by our Noritsu-HS-1800 film scanner.
The Noritsu HS-1800 is a high-performance film scanner designed for professional use, particularly in labs and studios that require efficient and high-quality scanning of film negatives and slides.
Noritsu HS-1800 Film Scanner
Versatile Film Scanning Solution
The HS-1800 is a high quality, high-capacity and versatile film scanner that handles a wide variety of film types. A TWAIN driver is included as a standard feature. This allows the HS-1800 to be connected to a PC and be used as a stand-alone scanner.
- The HS-1800 can scan 35mm film at a resolution of up to 4492 x 6774 pixels, which is approximately 30 megapixels.
- It also supports medium format film with a maximum resolution of 7606 x 7606 pixels, about 58 megapixels.
- It features automatic film feeding and advanced image processing capabilities to streamline the scanning process.
Easy and Efficient Film Handling
- The HS-1800 supports not only color negative film, but also color positive, chromogenic B&W and B&W film.
- The scanner is capable of handling a variety of film format, including 135, medium format 120/220 and mounted slides when used with the corresponding mount carrier.
Digital Ice Technology
- The HS-1800 is equipped with Digital Ice Technology which helps to correct dust and minor scratches on the base layer of the film that's being scanned to further enhance the final scanned image.
Digital Input
An input system that brings out all the fine details in a photograph.
A unique scanning system is built around a high-performance CCD sensor installed on the HS-1800 which is capable of reading three colors simultaneously. Images scanned from film are rapidly converted to a high-precision digital format with no loss of image quality. The HS-1800 also comes with a powerful scanning software known as the Noritsu EZ Controller that offers extensive control over scanning parameters and image adjustments.
With the help of EZ Controller, we are able to deliver high quality scans to our customers thanks to the unique features it offers.
In an overly backlit scene, figures in the foreground are too dark and the background is too bright. The relative brightness of foreground figures and background is corrected.
Improves the edge definition of objects, shadows and colors, while compensating for film grain, to produce crisp, clear photos that look as if they were taken with a higher grade of camera.
In overexposured and underexposured negatives, brightness and contrast can be automatically corrected to produce prints of near-standard brightness.
Overexposure Correction
Underexposure Correction
In a flash shot with a dark background, foreground figures can be too bright while the background is too dark. The relative brightness of foreground figures and background is corrected.
