Printing Services

Our many services include 35 mm color and black-and-white film developing.  But we offer much more than standard film developing and printing.  Our archiving, printing and restoration services include the following:

  • We’re experts at restoring damaged photographs with virtually undetectable photo retouching and editing.  Many customers have told us that these restored images became treasured gifts to parents and partners.
  • Our film scanning equipment can also transfer 8mm and 16mm film as well as VHS and video tapes to DVD and other digital formats.  You can then share and view them on any digital device.
  • Our custom printing spans the range from wallet-sized prints to large murals.  We can work from memory cards, negatives, slides, and existing prints in color or B&W.  We also perform photo mounting.

“I forgot my light stands when I came to Carlsbad for portraits. I was recommended to head over to this camera shop. Low and behold, they had to light stands that I purchased. Saved me from embarrassment. The guy there was very cordial and nice.”

“I went in to get my Canon 70 D checked out to see if I need my sensor cleaned. I didn’t get the guy’s name but he was really helpful. He told me everything looked ok. He went as far as blowing out any dust. Great customer service. I’ll be a return customer soon.”

Ben B.

“Went there to have a picture enlarged and printed. Pretty easy, e-mail the picture to them and they did the rest. Done in a few days, the pictures were beautiful and the cost little. Definitely will return.”
