Our Services

  • Film Processing

    We offer in-house b&w and color C41 film processing. Push/pull available upon request. Full roll scans, proof sheets, and traditional RC black and white contacts are also all available as ways of previewing freshly processed negatives.

  • Silver Gelatin Printing

    At BWonW, the traditional silver gelatin print is where we found our early beginnings and continue to invest much of our dedication and care. From 8x10” to 56x120”, all of our silver gelatin prints are produced optically using a negative in an enlarger.

  • Digital Pigment Printing

    As digital printing technology continues to evolve, so do we. We can produce pigment (inkjet) prints up to 64” wide using archival grade Epson UltraChrome Pro inks. We offer a variety of paper stocks, for which we create custom paper profiles.

  • Scanning

    We offer the highest quality scanning to create optimal digital files suitable for a range of projects, from book to large-scale printing. We can scan virtually anything, original negatives, slide transparencies, positives, and/or reflective artworks.

  • LVT Output

    If you’re hoping to produce a silver gelatin print from a digital file, we are able to produce digital negatives in-house using Light Valve Technology (LVT). All LVTs are recorded onto 100 speed t-grain professional film with resolutions up to 3048 ppi.

  • Mounting + Framing

    A beautiful print is one thing, but understanding how to display and preserve a beautiful print is another—and we can help with that! We mount to a variety of substrates and use the finest of materials to ensure the longevity of a work of art.
