Positive Reactions Incorporated offers the most consistent and highest quality film processing available anywhere. Located in Uptown Charlotte, we offer convenient location, turnaround times, and lab hours. Our twenty years of photo processing experience, combined with our first-rate lab equipment and exceptional customer service, enable us to produce the best images time after time, roll after roll.
Lab hours are Monday thru Friday 8:00am until 6:00pm. After hours and weekend runs are available by prearrangement. We accept normal process E-6 film until 4:00pm. These will be returned to you by 6:00pm. Our normal turnaround for E-6 is 2.5 hours. 35mm films are mounted in Loersch no float mounts with a three-line imprint available at no extra charge. Black and White films for process only require a 24-hour turnaround and process with contact is a 48-hour turnaround. Rush service is available at extra charge.
All film is processed with Refremas in Kodak chemicals and all chemicals are mixed in automatic blenders and replenishers, ensuring consistent color and speed balances. In addition, the water used for mixing all chemicals is Reverse Osmosis and De-Ionized. In other words laboratory grade and better than bottled water. This eliminates scum and sprocket marks that result from using hard tap water. Our dip and dunk processors ensure there are no scratches on film, which usually result from using roller transport machines. We can do custom clip tests and we also can push or pull E-6 films to one-eighth-stop tolerance.
We handle Fed-Ex orders in and out the same day. Sorry no USPS available due to inherent risk of losing film, never to be seen again. We also can provide references from area photographers who use us on a regular basis. A price list is printed below for your convenience or you can email us with any questions. We would be happy to help you.
