Peak have been producing top quality photographic prints for photographers for the past 22 years. We have skilled staff and the finest equipment to help achieve the very best results. Now, using the latest photo-digital printers from Fuji and Durst we can produce professional colour prints faster, at cost effective prices.

Negatives and transparencies are digitally scanned and printed on to continuous tone photographic paper using RGB lasers. This produces a higher quality print fully optimised for colour and density. Contrast is better controlled with greater detail in the shadow and highlight areas, especially important when printing from transparencies. Check it out - you'll see the difference!

We can work from any size original from 35mm to 5x4, negative or transparency, in colour or black & white. Prints can be produced on gloss or satin matt surface paper.

We offer three different printing services from negatives. Standard Fixed Format prints, Selective Fixed Format prints and our premier service, Custom Made prints. 

Depending on the required service all negatives entering the laboratory are digitally scanned using Fuji or Imacon high-resolution scanners. The print information is then passed over our network to either Fuji or Durst Photo-digital printers. Unlike mail order d&p services and high street minilabs each print is individually assessed, graded and reprinted if necessary.

Colour prints from transparencies have up until recently been produced in one of two ways. The traditional way is to make a special negative (termed an internegative) from the transparency and then print the internegative on conventional colour paper. The second method is to produce colour prints direct from transparencies using special paper and the R3 process. The R3 process eliminated the need for an internegative to be made.

There were pros and cons using either of these techniques. Internegatives handled flesh tones well and offered better control over contrast. The down side was the extra time incurred and cost. R3 reversal prints were inexpensive and produce results quicker, however the process did not handle high contract subjects well.
