Digital Slide File Setup:
|
The most common mistake in
creating 35mm slides in incorrect proportion setup. Page size must be set at
2:3 ratio (7.33"x11.00") or select the pre-defined setup called "35mm SLIDE"
when available.
Critical color matching is not
available in this service.
Keep text and artwork at least
1/2" from frame edges to avoid cut-off at the edge of the slide mount.
Size RGB raster images at 372dpi
@ 7.33x11.00 for 1:1 output. A full 35mm frame 1:1 RGB image makes a 31.9mb
file. If the image is not proportioned at slide ratio (2:3), specify a black
or white background. |
Little things that matter:
We do many important things you might not notice, like using archival,
pure acetate and polypropylene film sleeves for film. Vinyl is cheaper, but
not archival, and you want the
best, right?
We'll do what it takes to earn your trust in film processing.
Just ask.
Why film process prices increased?
Fewer photographers
continue to use film and processing volume has dropped precipitously.
We've cut costs where possible but we must maintain our standards for
the remaining professional film customers. With less film to
support the effort, our cost of providing these services is climbing.
Price increases simply
cover
a portion of the increased costs. We value your patronage and will continue to provide you with the high
quality you expect.
Process
Schedules & Special Runs
Beginning Sept.
2008, we process film in scheduled batches, rather than continuous runs
throughout the day.
We're happy to provide
rush or overtime services when required but some steps, like time in the processing
chemistry, simply cannot be hurried. We'll always do our best to help with your
deadlines.

What is a clip
test?
A clip test is a short
piece of film cut off a roll and processed. It can be processed normal or push
or pull. The balance of the roll is held, unprocessed, until the
customer has checked the exposure on the clip test. The balance can then be
pushed or pulled or run normal, as required to correct the exposure.
One frame is
normally cut through in a clip test. No, it is impossible to know where to cut
to avoid cutting through a frame!
 What is
Q-Lab? Kodak invented E6 film and chemistry and knows
them best. Q-Lab is a premium E6 process-auditing system begun in 1986.
We're given special technical support and meet the highest standards of
process control.
Chromatics is a
charter Q-Lab member and often runs special tests as a part of the
ongoing refinement of E6 process and films. We've earned our Q-Lab status as a
favored processing facility.
Slide
mounts: Cardboard or Plastic?
We offer Loersch
plastic and Seary cardboard mounts for general use. Both are
best-of-their-kind.
Loersch plastic mounts are
the most durable but require Sharpie
markers for labeling and are heavier to ship. Corners are square. Seary cardboard mounts are easier
to write on and lighter when shipping. Corners are rounded. Both have their proponents and the choice
is yours. Want to know more about mounts?
