New web site for Techlab Photo! Headline
 
Canvas Our new look site has launched as of May 4! There are many new looks and features, be sure to look it over and check back often as we will be constantly updating it.

We sell many of our products online including Ilford, Kodak and Fuji films, folders and folios from Collector's Gallery, frames from Framatic (and soon Dennis Daniels) and albums from Pioneer coming soon.

Share images with friends, order prints gifts and books as well with two online printing avenues that send us your orders so we can print them here.  One is for quick and easy ordering, one is for longer term album storage (don't just leave them in your camera or on CDs!) and sharing. Lifesync is also now available to help you upload your images while you sleep so they're there and ready to go when you want to share them.

We hope you like the new site! 

We're on Facebook and Twitter as well! If you are on either, be sure to become a fan on Facebook by clicking that link, or search for techlabphoto on Twitter! You'll receive occasional discounts and news and help to grow our base to spread the word about our products and services, especially with that big national chain closing so many local stores and some other small labs closing as well. We're here today and here to stay!
