The Icon is one of the only film labs in the entire US that can process E6 Film.

The E-6 process is a chromogenic photographic process for developing Ektachrome, Fujichrome and other color reversal (also called slide or transparency) photographic film. Unlike some color reversal processes (such as Kodachrome K-14) that produce positive transparencies, E-6 processing can be performed by individual users with the same equipment that is used for processing black and white negative film or C-41 color negative film. The process is highly sensitive to temperature variations: A heated water bath is mandatory to stabilize the temperature at 100.0 °F (37.8 °C) for the first developer and first wash to maintain process tolerances.

*Please note that E6 Proof Sheets are created digitally

The Icon’s black & white film processing utilizes the zone system to optimize for: film exposure, the subsequent development of the film, and the printing of the image.

We utilize standardized 21-step density tablets to measure, monitor, and calibrate our chemical baths for each individual film type and size.

Unlike the C-41 and E6 processes, where all the compatible films and sizes are processed with the same processing time, B&W films are intentionally designed to vary in characteristic nuance. Primary characteristic differences in B&W film construction are: grain structure and size, clarity and integrity of the acetate the gelatin emulsion is coated to, and designated ASA/ISO rating.

We accept the following film sizes:

• 35mm
• 120mm
• 126mm
• 220mm
• 4×5 Sheet
• 5×7 Sheet
• 8×10 Sheet

We can process disposable cameras too!

Our film process is exactly the same for disposable cameras. We’re able to process both color and/or black-and-white film.

Process your film and have it scanned at the same time in small, medium, or large sizes (72 or 300 DPI Files). Scans can be provided via FTP file transfer for free download or can be burned to a DVD or thumb drive for an additional cost.

NORITSU SCANS

The Icon utilizes the newest series of Noritsu scanners, the HS-1800 series, to scan your film in either Low, Medium, or High resolution—and provide either 72 DPI JPG or 300 DPI TIFF files. The expanded image control pre-scan settings allow these scanners to be adjusted for color, contrast, and saturation that most closely interprets the film’s character and tonality, making Noritsu scans ideal for film image editing, archiving, or producing machine prints directly. We adjust the color, contrast and density of each frame for optimal image quality. However, we can scan with no corrections upon request.

Develop your film and print at the same time. Choose Your Print Size (4×6 to 6×9) & Paper Type (Matte, Glossy, or Luster).

MACHINE PRINTS

You can order prints of every frame at the time of processing in various sizes. Print sizes offered are: 4” x 6″, 5″ x 5″, 6″ x 6″, 6″ x 7″, or 6″ x 9″—on Kodak Endura Glossy, Matte, or Luster paper. Choice of full frame with minimal white border, or bleed/borderless.

Of course, you can come by! We accept walk-ins any time during regular open hours.
