Lab FAQ

01Read this firstAll in-house

Next-day means ready by midnight the next day — not guaranteed before our 6 PM close, and not a strict 24-hour turnaround.

Turnaround starts once your film is checked in at the Toronto lab — not when it is dropped in a mailbox or handed to a carrier. Same-day and rush windows depend on volume and are never assumed.

All four processes — C-41, B&W, E-6 and ECN-2 — run through controlled in-house workflows at one Toronto lab. Nothing is sent out, so the timeline stays under our roof.

02How the clock worksMachine room · GRN/TOR

From check-in
to midnight.

Your roll follows the same path every time. The timeline is measured from the moment it is checked in — not from when it left your hands.

  1. 01

    Checked in

    Your film reaches the Toronto lab and is logged against your order. This is where the next-day clock starts.

  2. 02

    Processed in-house

    C-41, B&W, E-6, or ECN-2 runs through the matching in-house workflow the same working cycle.

  3. 03

    Scanned & checked

    Frames are scanned on Noritsu, Frontier, or Flextight and reviewed by a photographer before delivery.

  4. 04

    Ready by midnight

    Files are delivered and negatives handled — ready by midnight of the next day. Not guaranteed before 6 PM close.

03The fine print, un-buriedEffective 2026

Turnaround is measured from check-in at the Toronto lab. Mail-in rolls enter the clock once received and logged — not at drop-off in another city.

Next-day means ready by midnight the next day. We do not guarantee completion before our 6 PM close on the same day.

Turnaround holds under normal volume. During unusually high periods we will flag any change before you commit an order — and the dates above move with it.

Scans are delivered digitally; negatives are returned or held per your order. Pickup and download details are confirmed with your order.
