OLD FILM PROCESSING BY PROCESS C-22 WWW.PROCESSC22.CO.UK SPECIALIST SERVICES FOR OLD FILMS, NEGATIVES AND SLIDES PO BOX 496 MARGATE CT9 9EE ENGLAND Telephone - (0845) 2244 496 Email - info@processc22.co.uk We offer a specialist service for old and out-of-date films, perhaps found in old cameras or given to you by friends or relatives. We can scan almost any format of negative, slide, or photographic print, and restore old deteriorated images for printing or CD storage. The films we receive have usually not been made for many years and require different handling to those used today. Film undergoes highly specialised treatments simply unavailable elsewhere. We offer a professional and expert service to help recover your lost memories - you can be assured that our years of experience will help get the best results possible from your old film, slides, negatives or photographs. We have recovered good images from film dating back as far as the 1920’s, and recently a stunning set of pre-war colour photographs from a roll of Dufaycolor film.

YOUR QUESTIONS & ANSWERS: "I have found an old film. Can you process it and is it worth it?" Yes. We specialise in all types of old film. Don’t worry if you are unsure what type of film you have, we can still help you. "Will the pictures come out ?" There is a very good chance, but of course much does depend upon how old the film is and how it has been stored. It can also be hard to tell if some film has even been used. Almost all exposed films will yield images, but there may be deterioration, due to a number of factors: * Colour dyes weaken and shift over time * Heat and natural radiation can fog films * Dampness can cause blotches on film * The emulsion may become brittle * Contrast can often be reduced * Roll film can stick to the backing paper We use special treatments to help counteract the effect of ageing, but our objective is always the recovery of the actual image, whatever the condition. We are very proud of our high level of success with old film. OUR CURRENT IMAGE RECOVERY RATE IS ABOVE 97% FOR ALL FILM PROCESSED. "How do you get the results?" We know exactly how to deal with any given old film or negative, what to do and what will produce the best results. We are always improving methods to make lost images appear as they were originally taken. "How long will it take ?" With our Standard service, the turnaround time is neither given nor guaranteed, as film is dealt with in small batches around 2-3 times per year, according to volume. We can often offer a faster turnaround although at a premium price : Express Service : +100% surcharge (Guaranteed turnaround within 30 days) Express Priority : +200% surcharge (Guaranteed turnaround within 10 days) Both Services are by prior arrangement only. "Is there a guarantee or refund if nothing comes out ?" Unfortunately no refund of the processing charge is available, although pre-paid printing charges are refunded in the event of film failure. The hand-prepared components and methods are complex and time-consuming. If your order is unsuccessful, we return it safely with a detailed Film Report Datasheet. Our guarantee is that we will do all we can to recover your memories. "What do I get for my money ?" Your film will be handled with utmost professional care and attention, along with a friendly and personal service. We are specialists in photographic recovery and promise to do our very best for you! "Do you make prints from the film?" We firstly concentrate on careful, accurate film processing. We then use powerful scanners to convert the film image to digital files, either storing them on CD or producing high quality digital photographic prints. "Can't I take my old film to my local one-hour lab?" Old film, even if using a current process, requires specialist care and attention. Regular labs don't have the expertise for this type of restoration work, and precious images may be lost forever. Handling old film is a very specialist job and best left to the experts.
