WELCOME TO DIGITALAB - a professional photo lab, currently celebrating our 60th year in business.

We have been serving the needs of photographers in the North East of England for a long time, but having invested heavily in state of the art IT infrastructure, Digitalab can now be your "local" lab, wherever you are located. Unlike many other professional photo labs we have retained all of our traditional equipment to provide a complete traditional film as well as digital imaging service. Our aim is to give you a high quality, professional, reliable and personal service. |

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. |

Large format digital printing video LARGE FORMAT DIGITAL PRINT PROJECT WITH JOE CORNISHDigitalab recently had the privilege of working with renowned landscape photographer Joe Cornish on a large format print project. The project consisted
of 16 different images, some as single prints, others as large triptychs. All the prints were then laminated, some being mounted on dibond aluminium sheet,
some on foamex and additionally some were also framed. The large format photography commission undertaken by Joe for the Tees, Esk and Wear Valley's NHS Foundation Trust was then installed
in their new flagship mental health facility, Roseberry Park in Middlesbrough.
All our photographic prints, including those on our online photo printing system,
are produced using the same technique, so whether you are Joe Cornish or Joe Bloggs your digital prints get the same treatment. The digital files are exposed onto silver-based Fuji Crystal Archive Professional photographic papers using RGB lasers, either on our
Lightjet 5000 or on our high definition Noritsu 3801HD pro mini lab. These are known as digital C-type prints. No ink is involved! The only time we use inkjet technology
is in the production of canvas prints or prints on Fine Art Paper. |
