digitalab digital printing lab, photographic prints from film and all digital media


Welcome to digitalab?

Digitalab provide our customers with a comprehensive professional service. Whether you are using digital equipment or shooting on film, we have the technology and expertise to provide you with the highest quality processing and printing. Digital prints onto photographic paper produce stunning results. Both our digital pro-minilab and our large format Lightjet 5000 printer use RGB lasers to expose the image to photographic paper. This system can achieve better and more controlled results than traditional photographic printing in terms of sharpness, colour saturation and contrast control. The Lightjet 5000 can print up to 8ft x4ft in one section and, because the laser exposure system does not pass through a lens, can achieve edge to edge sharpness, especially noticable in text sharpness, that most other large format photographic output devices cannot match. The Lightjet 5000 prints at an apparent resolution of over 4000 dpi.

THE BENEFITS OF A LIGHTJET 5000 PRINT

  • EXTREMELY FINE DETAIL.
    The continuous tone resolution is equivalent to a 4000 dpi printer, finer than film grain, with no visible dots. No inkjet, dye sublimation or electrostatic printer can come close to this degree of detail.
     
  • VAST COLOUR GAMUT and COLOUR FIDELITY.
    36-Bit colour means that the Lightjet can reproduce
    68 BILLION colours.
     
  • IMAGE STABILITY.
    The Lightjet prints onto archival quality photographic paper, producing sharp and rich colours that have a longevity far beyond that of inks or dyes.
     
  • EDGE TO EDGE SHARPNESS.
    The Lightjet's RGB lasers expose the paper by travelling along a drum. This produces a print that is sharp and clear from edge to edge with no pixelation and with no density or focus fall off associated with conventional prints made through a lens.

"When I required digital output I found that the prints
produced by the Lightjet 5000 were of outstanding quality.
I was surprised by the colour saturation of the prints and
the accuracy of their reproduction in relation to my
original transparencies." Joe Cornish
