Yes, on our Customized order flow, add E-6 processing as an option to your selections.
Yes! We offer C-41 Color and Black + White 120 film developing, scanning, and 4×6 printing.
We do not offer cut and sleeve at this time, as we have a strict uncut film policy. We do sleeve all uncut rolls in continuous roll sleeving. For orders with contact sheet scans, we will cut and sleeve film into binder sleeving.
We are happy to develop any C-41 Color film that is expired. We cannot guarantee the results of your expired film, and will not be able to extend refunds if these results don’t meet your expectations.
We can push/pull color film at an additional cost. Please select your desired Processing Preference when ordering.
We do our best to ship out negatives within the same week of processing it. For local orders, we can expedite wrapping your negatives and arrange a pickup.
For most C-41 color negative film, we process your film in an all-new, state of the art Colenta roller transport machine. With the most pristine color accuracy and archival wash stages, your film is in the best of hands. For expired film and disposables, we use a well maintained Noritsu V-30 film processor. Black+White is hand developed using special, secret chemistry (Kodak brand). E-6 Color Positive slide film is developed using our handy Jobo ATL1000.
Drop-off is available at our dropboxes in Maplewood, NJ • Chatham, NJ and Brooklyn, NY. For location specific instructions, visit https://gelatinlabs.com/contact-us/?swcfpc=1#
You will receive an email with detailed tracking when USPS scans in your package. We tend to have two shipments of orders going out per week.

A GelForm is a thoughtfully crafted balance of temperature and contrast—bundling them into distinct looks that are both intuitive and reliable. Whether you prefer a clean, true-to-film rendering, a punchy high-contrast feel, or something with a bit more warmth or coolness, there’s a GelForm that fits your style.
We’ve created a set of unique formulas (GelForms) that unlock endless possibilities—making your photos more personal and distinctive. These are not presets, but in-scanner adjustments to get the best from your film.
Choose the GelForm that best fits your style and application – we apply carefully tuned formulas based on contrast and temperature. For specialty GelForms, we can also preserve details like sprockets or the rebate edge.
Each formula is unique and will render a different result. Explore the possibilities of your images by experimenting with each GelForm. (Note: Results may vary from sample images, and depend on the film stock chosen, exposure settings while shooting, and film storage).
Each GelForm is made possible by professional film scanners that evoke different styles. To understand which GelForm relates to each scanner, refer to the table below.
Scanner | GelForm |
---|---|
Noritsu HS-1800 | THE STANDARD, THE HI-C, THE HI-C SPIKED, THE FLAT EARTH, THE NOIR, THE FLAT MOON |
Fujifilm Frontier SP-3000 | THE FRINGE, THE SPACELY |
Fujifilm Frontier SP-500 | THE PALM-AIRE, THE ELIZABETH |
