Yes, you can! As long as they don’t have a copyright on them (aka taken by a photographer or original artwork) we will happily copy your already printed photos.
Yes you can! Just bring your frame in and we will measure and install the new glass for you. We have plain glass and various art glasses available to refit into your frame. We cut our glass on site too so you know you will get new glass that will fit perfectly.
For sure! You are welcome to visit us in store to print from your phone or send us an email here and we can create a Dropbox folder for you to put your photos into. The second option is usually the fastest and most reliable way of getting photos printed (especially if you’re like us and have 1000’s of photos on your camera roll)
For sure, we can! Email us and give us an idea of what you have to be installed/hung up (size, quantity, what kind of wall they’re going in etc) and we can let you know about the cost!
Yes we can! You just need to tell us which ones and we will scan them for you.
Nope! Not at all. Just pop in to see us during our open hours and we can get the photos taken and processed for you.
Nope! We actually recommend you take them off to avoid glare or being classified as tinted.
(Fun fact: Even clear glasses get tagged as tinted due to the color difference between skin behind and beyond the glasses)
Yes we can! Whether it’s replacing glass, new matboards, renailing, repainting or anything in between. Bring your frame in so we can access the damage and chat about what you want done.
Yes we do! Everything from cutting the moulding, glass and matboard to putting the whole thing together is done under our workshop roof. We have a bunch of talented superstars out there!
Yes we do! We process c41 and black & white in store.
Yes we do! We take photos for people of any age.
Absolutely! This tells us which way your image is so we can put the hangers on the frame correctly.
This all depends on two things. How much space you have and how big the file will allow us to do.
Generally speaking, we can print up to 44 inches (or 1117.6mm) wide and 89 feet (27m) long on our Smooth Pearl Paper.
No need for an appointment – just come in at a time that suits you.
We use a Fujifilm SP3000 scanner for all of our film scanning. We have 3 different resolution options for you to choose from.
The actual photo takes a second (Or 1/80th of a second if we’re honest…). The wait between taking the photo and receiving the photo is usually 10 minutes, but if we are busy it might take longer. We will let you know once the photo Is taken how long the wait will be.
35mm C41 processing is usually within 48 hours (assuming the machine isn’t packing a tantrum…), 120 C41 processing is usually a week. Black and white processing can be up to 2 weeks and depends on volume (the more films we have, the quicker we are to develop them)
It can depend on a few factors, but custom framing can take 2-3 weeks. This can be longer or shorter due to workload, materials, availability and difficulty of job. If you need a quick turn around, make sure to let us know and we will do everything in our power.
This depends on the materials, size of the object being framed and how labour intensive it is. Check out our price guide here for a better guideline on framing costs.
If you have had a custom frame made by us, we will put a little sticker on the back to say how we think you should hang your frame.
Alternatively, if you have something else you need hung up, here are our options:
– Our Beehive hangers are a brilliant way to hang (Original or Max)
– If you like hooks, we recommend the hook and nails (Small, Medium or Double)
– If you have a heavy frame we recommend a french cleat (which we can custom make for you) or Heavy Duty Frame Hangers which come in 3 sizes, rating from up to 34kgs to up to 90kgs
Still confused? Contact us and we can talk about what option we think is best for you.
Yes it can! Our talented team can take a high-resolution scan of (almost) anything of almost any size*
(*When we say any size, it needs to make it into our store…so that might limit it…)
Yes please! This allows us to measure and work with your item to give us a more accurate result.
