    Although we now live in a digital age, it is important to ensure that the history of photography and its original processes are not forgotten. Along with Black and White processing, we also continue to offer our C41 film processing services. Film processing has always been at the heart of DS Colours Labs and although the company has expanded since 1954, our C41 film processing services continue to thrive.

    Each film that we receive is treated with the utmost importance and respect, and we take the time to understand the individual requirements of each of our customers. We process most formats including 35mm, 120, APS, 110 and 126 films and also offer further scanning services should you require them.

    All films are monitored throughout the day through the Fuji Oasis Quality Control System. All photos are printed on Fuji C-Type Professional Photo Paper using Fuji Frontier Printers. Our quality and service is second to none.

    PLEASE NOTE: When arranging the delivery of your film to us, please ensure the correct postal price is paid.  Most parcels will be sent as a large letter or small parcel via Royal Mail.
