Best Way To Develop Film: In Gelatin Labs We Trust

Go back to the pre-digital days, when photography was solely a physical process, from start to finish. You’d purchase your film at a brick-and-mortar shop, load up your camera, and document life without the modern distractions our digital devices bombard us with. A simpler and more magical experience.

Today, we can make a digital scan from your film photos, so you can bridge the gap from analog to digital.

 

Film photography has become a breath of fresh air for artists, professionals, and hobbyists around the world, something everyone should experience in their photographic journey. At some point along the way, you’ll have some rolls ready for developing, and it’s best to leave the process up to a professional film lab like Gelatin. When using Gelatin Labs, you can mail in your film from Spokane, safely rely on our turnaround, attention to detail, customer service, and quality of processing. Every roll is treated with care and attention.

E-6 Color Positive slide film is developed using our handy Jobo ATL1000.

ECN-2 film is developed by the fine folks at Kodak Film Lab Atlanta, and scanned by Gelatin.

We use DNP commercial printers to make our amazing dye-sublimation prints.

Send film in a bubble mailer or a secure box via your trusted mail carrier. Use First Class Mail with tracking, or a faster service. We also have a shipping label available to add to your order.

*DO NOT* use postage stamps, envelopes, or any flimsy package that will easily be tampered with or come undone en route to the lab. Use extra tape where needed to ensure security.
