35mm or 828 Slides to Paper Prints

35mm slides have a ~3:2 aspect ratio, which fits comfortably on a 4×6" paper photo.

126, 110, and 3D Stereo Slides to Paper Prints

These formats don’t match 4×6 proportions. We crop to preserve as much of the image as possible, so you may see white margins on two sides.

Requesting Specific Sizes (5×7", 8×10", etc.)

If you want certain slides printed at specific sizes, please indicate which slides and how to crop when possible. If not specified, we’ll use our best judgement to retain the most important content.

Internegatives (Background)

Drugstore labs once made “internegatives” from slides to create prints. Kodak discontinued internegative films, and most labs have dropped the process. Today, we scan your originals and print from those high-resolution digital files.

Prints From Digital Images

We scan first, then produce prints from the digital images. Below are unedited (other than size) scans of physical prints made from one of our typical 35mm slide scans.

Quality: What To Expect

Your prints depend on the sharpness and condition of the original. Slide projection (light through film) can look more vivid than reflected-light prints. Our Photoshop techs balance tone and color to get the best print possible, but slides and prints are different mediums.

Many families rarely view slides anymore since projectors are hard to find. Digitizing your slides and ordering prints lets everyone enjoy them easily in albums, frames, or scrapbooks.
