Professional Hand Processing
The skills required for professional film processing by hand requires discipline, confidence and experience. Each film is unique. At Blanco Negro we offer a range of services designed to make the most of this beautiful medium.
Develop your film in D-76 at Normal or use PMK Pyro for historical and alternative printing processes — the choice is yours.
Each film is hand processed using fresh chemistry and takes approximately 90 minutes to process, dry to dry. Years of experience goes into each roll or sheet, for consistent, clean processing.
The benefits of manual hand processing includes a huge range of developers, control of dilution for grain or contrast adjustment, and room for major or minor time and temperature correction.
Standard Service
Film is processed in Stock D-76 at 20 degrees, developed as required and finished in archival sleeves.
Custom Service
After testing your developer + film + time combination, this becomes your standard. There may be an extra charge for this service, though only the initial testing may incur a fee. Some developers may be costly and will incur a 30% surcharge.
We also have extensive experience processing old film stocks of various formats.
Other developers available: FomaDon LQN, Pyro PMK (+25%), T-Max, D-23 (+25%) and Technidol (+25%). Please email for more detailed information if necessary.
