What is a Lightjet Print?
A lightjet print is made by a specially designed photographic printer (not inkjet), which exposes the media with 3 high-intensity lasers yielding an exceptionally hi-res image. Click here to view the Oce equipment we use.

Yes. We use the Aztek Photostudio Drum-Scanner ( http://www.aztek.com/ ) that can scan an image with resolutions up to 4000 dpi.
What about film processing?
We offer C-41 as well as E-6 film processing in 35mm, 120, 220, 4X 5 and 8X10 formats. E-6 runs are available in 2 hour or 24 hour service. C-41 is completed in 24 hours. We run process controls daily to verify that your film receives the very best in development quality and we maintain our status as San Diego's' only Kodak ProLab. "Push" and "Pull" process is available to compensate for exposure variances on your E-6 film. And of course we use quality Kodak chemistry in both processing lines.
How do I receive my completed product?
We offer free pick up and delivery in San Diego for orders of $50.00 or more. If you are not in San Diego, we do offer shipping to most destinations.
