FotoTechnika develops the following film sizes:
-
Roll films: 110, 126, 127, 35mm, 120 and 220
-
Sheet film: 4x5 & 8x10
The following is done to take care of film after development
-
All film is sleeved in archival plastic sleeving.
-
Film can be left uncut upon request.
-
Slide film is usually mounted, but can be cut and sleeved like negative film upon request. For an additional charge, slides can be placed in archival pages instead of a box.
What machine does FotoTechnika use to make prints from roll film?
FotoProofs from color negatives, unmounted slide film and true B&W film are produced on a Noritsu digital minilab.
What type of paper is used for FotoTechnika’s photographic prints?
All prints are produced on Fuji Crystal Archive paper which when tested for longevity and archival quality exceeded 40 years.
How is photographic paper different from inkjet paper?
Today, true photographic paper using silver halide emulsions are most often digitally exposed by lasers or LEDs (the modern equivalent of exposing the light-sensitive emulsion to light under an enlarger) and then processed in photographic chemicals to produce the image. Fujifilm has worked diligently to ensure that the different color layers of emulsion fade at the same rate over time, so that if a picture fades over time, the colors will still look the same.
Inkjet paper has coating on it to make it receptive to ink. That ink is sprayed onto the coated paper via microscopic ink jets. Unless the particular types of paper and ink have been tested for longevity for their specific use together, it is possible that the inks will change color or fade.
