AZ Labs. GOOGLE knows how to find them.

I haven't used them, but I know folks who have and they didn't complain. They offer a very full range of services. Color, B&W and inkjet. They also have an Imacon scanner for the very best scans.

They are located near Houston Camera Co-op. In the general vicinity of Washington & Durham, just south of I-10.

There is a color/B&W lab, called The Photo Lab, in the NE corner of the I-10 and Beltway 8 intersection. The name escapes me now. C-41 & E-6 processing and printing. A friend uses them.

Good luck! Let us know what you do to keep the data base going!

I've heard good things about AZ Lab that Wayne mentioned. I use HPI for my Holga developing and am happy with them especially since they are open on Saturday, a necessity for my work schedule.

Holga processing?

Right. They use 120 film don't they?

Cool How long ago? - 05-14-2008, 09:01 AM


Laurie,

How long has it been since you had HPI develop film? I heard they had dropped film. Their web site makes no mention of film processing. Just curious.

I would be shocked if they dropped film developing. They are the go to for many of the toy camera users in town. I got film developed in March.

If HPI is still processing, and/or printing film they are keeping it a secret on their web pages.

Wayne, just to update you I just got some film developed this week at HPI. I also asked them about cross processing and they told me they would do that too, so it looks like their film developing is alive and well.

Thanks Laurie. I still don't get their web page and no mention of film. Folks wonder why film is declining. If a company can't be bothered to list ALL of thier services on a web page it makes it difficult to get business. Just my nickle's worth.

I use www.fullcolor.com for all my digital and film work. They are really easy to work with and always great quality. You might give them a try, if you don't have luck with any labs in Houston. Good luck! Oh, they are located in Dallas.

I finally had an occasion to use The Photo Lab. George Lamb is the owner. A very nice man. George even stayed a few minutes late so I could pick up my order. And it was ready a day earlier than estimated. George is open until 6pm Monday thru Thursday.
