Turnarounds

At Gelatin Labs, we prioritize quality first for every order. Our team keeps film moving through the lab as efficiently as possible, but estimates are not guaranteed. 

CURRENT TURNAROUND ESTIMATES:

For Guaranteed Scan Turnarounds, use our Fast Pass ⚡️ service.
For status updates, email [email protected].

Processing Preference

Mark rolls (+1, +2, +3, -1) according to the options you have selected.

Second Scan Pass: Flat + Neutral

If you’d like a second scan done of the same roll with Flat Contrast and Neutral Temperature, separate from your current Contrast + Temperature selections.

All Contrast + Temperature selections are tuned by our operators in scanner, so each selection requires a separate scan of your film.
