The Print Lab

  • Traditional Darkroom

    Sometimes the old ways are best. Silver gelatin prints are all about presence. They remain the finest, most archival, and most valuable way to print photographs in a traditional way. Northeast Photographic is equipped with a state of the art darkroom featuring a brand new 8x10 (built in 2022 by Kienzle) enlarger and Heiland Splitgrade exposures systems. We can produce prints from formats 35mm to 8x10 at sizes up to 20x24. The entire process is custom from paper surface to base. We have recently added capabilities in color using RA4 materials, which means color darkroom prints are coming soon.

  • Carbon Monochrome Piezography

    Utilizing an all carbon based monochromatic ink set, we can produce the finest B&W prints possible in an inkjet environment. This technology has been developing for the last two decades and has matured into the Piezography Pro ink set, which contains neutral, warm, and cool tone inks. The possibilities for toning, and split-toning your images are essentially endless. The advantage of the carbon inks over traditional pigments are in archival rating, must greater resolution and density of blacks. We make carbon monochrome prints using an Epson P6000 in sizes up to 24” in the short dimension.

How to Order Prints

  • Images are printed as per your crop and aspect ratio at your requested size, up to 24” in the short dimension. If you wish to have a white border, this is added in addition to your requested print size. Please provide the highest resolution version of the image you have, preferably in TIFF format, edited to your taste. You will choose the image tone on the order form.

    Costs are $24 per square ft including white borders.

    To calculate sq/ft, take the multiply the length and width, then divide by 144. I.E. 8x10=80. 80/144=.55. .55x24=13.2 Thus, an 8x10 print is $13.00. (We round to nearest figure).

  • All silver prints must be custom invoiced and ordered. Please use the contact page to reach out and describe your project. You will need a way to deliver the original negative to our shop. Turnarounds for silver prints are up to 14 days from order placement. Spot tone retouching is not included but can be ordered. If your negative has obvious defects we recommend ordering a digital printed method, such as a carbon monochrome inkjet print.

  • If you have a single negative or set of negatives that require printing and scanning, we can do it all in house. If you are ordering prints and digital scans together, we can discount the overall services as a bundle.

  • We can produce RA4 prints up to 16x20”. We are currently optimizing this workflow but are happy to make custom prints on request. We can accept negatives from 35mm to 8x10”.

  • We do not make color archival pigment prints, but instead recommend Paper Tides, a local print shop run by an expert print maker.
