Hi guys
I changed jobs a few months ago and now work on the northern beaches at Newport.
My question is as I don't know the area very well could you guys who live up this way recommend a good photo lab.in the beaches area.I have used Vision Graphics and Campsie Digital Lab in the past both are very good but are now difficult to get to,any suggestions please.

I presume you mean for digital prints, rather than filum?

Apparently C41 Digital are supposed to be good. And, they are moving to around the corner from my work. Just make sure you don't go into 18 Chard Road by mistake. :twisted:

Two or three lights, any lens on a light-tight box are sufficient for the realisation of the most convincing image. Man Ray 1935.

Jeff,

Digital Mediums - http://www.digitalmediums.com.au/ at Brookvale are excellent for canvas, acrylic, mounting etc...

They can do prints but it is not their specialty. I use them for all my canvas orders and they really are fantastic (they use smooth canvass rather than the rough textured canvas).

Ask for Angus and tell him Andrew from follan photography sent you :lol:

:D

Does anyone have any idea if there's a lab around Canberra i can use to get print done? I'm new here and don't have a clue.

I'm assuming it's best to find a place locally rather than somewhere like Sydney or something?

Thanks! :D

Just to follow up on this, i need some prints done pretty soon. I'm thinking C41 sounds like the best way to go. Is there any benefit of going locally? I can't seem to find one around Canberra that has the same reputation. I've seen some prints from the local one, but haven't heard great reports from people who have dealt with them.

Any advice would be great. Thanks guys!
