Archival Photographic Printing

Hank’s is a full-service photographic lab dedicated to the production, preservation, and presentation of photographic work. For decades, photographers, galleries, estates, and institutions have relied on our lab to produce exhibition-quality prints and manage important photographic collections.

Combining traditional darkroom craftsmanship with modern imaging technology, our facility supports a wide range of photographic processes—from gelatin silver printing from original negatives to high-resolution digital printing and archival digitization.

All work is approached individually, allowing us to determine the most appropriate workflow, materials, and processes for the image. Our goal is always the same: to produce prints that faithfully realize the photograph while meeting the highest standards of archival quality.

The Lab

Work begins with a careful evaluation of the original material, whether film negatives, photographic prints, or digital files. From there, we collaborate with photographers, galleries, and institutions to determine the most appropriate printing process and materials.

Our darkrooms and custom-built automated processing facility allow us to work with a wide range of photographic papers and chemistry combinations. This flexibility makes it possible to tailor the printing process to the specific needs of the image.

Our printing capabilities range from small-format prints beginning at 5 × 7 inches to large-scale prints measuring over 8 × 10 feet.
