Black & White Film Processing, Scanning, and Printing Services

At The Icon, our black & white film processing integrates the zone system, ensuring optimal results in film exposure, subsequent development, and image printing.

To achieve utmost precision and accuracy, we rely on standardized 21-step density tablets. These tablets are employed to measure, monitor, and calibrate the chemical baths for each specific film type and size.

In contrast to the uniform processing times utilized in the C-41 and E6 processes for compatible films and sizes, black & white films are intentionally designed to showcase nuanced characteristics. The key factors that distinguish black & white films are the grain structure and size, the quality and integrity of the acetate used for the gelatin emulsion coating, as well as the designated ASA/ISO rating.

What Is Black and White Film?

Black and white film is a traditional photographic medium that captures images using a monochromatic palette of varying shades of gray. It has been widely used in the history of photography and continues to hold a special place in the hearts of many photographers and enthusiasts today. Unlike color film, which reproduces images with a full spectrum of colors, black and white film focuses solely on tones and contrasts, allowing for a unique aesthetic and artistic expression.

Beautiful Work

I love The Icon and have been using them since my photo school days. I recently had a photo I’d taken on my phone enlarged in both glossy and lustre, and to my surprise both turned out beautifully!
