Film Processing

C-41 Color Negatives
We process color film 7 days a week and can have it done the same day. You have a choice of develop only, develop and print, develop and scan, or develop, print and scan. Our standard is to cut the film into 4 frames and sleeve them. You can request to have your film uncut. 120/220 film is always sleeved. We also sell negative binder sheets.



Black and White Film
Montclair Photo processes BW film in-house. We usually run the processor first thing in the morning. Most orders are taken for next day. We can push/pull the BW film developing.



E-6 Slide Film
E6 Slides, also known as transparency or positive film, are processed in-house within 24 hours. We run our slide machine 3 or 4 times a week. If you need your slide film developed the same day just call ahead and we will make sure the machine is up and running. It takes an hour for the machine to warm up and one hour for the slides film to be developed. Our standard procedure is to mount the slides in plastic mounts. You can request us not to mount and we will sleeve the uncut roll.



Disposable Cameras
Most disposable cameras have regular color film. These we can process in-house within a few hours.



Advantix Film
Advantix, also known as APS film, can be processed within 1-2 days. These films come in little canisters.  We will reload the processed film back into the canister. This film has numbers on the side to let you know which stage the film is at. 1. new roll, 2. partially used, 3. film was used and it's ready to develop, 4. the film has been developed. The numbers can easily be changed so to make sure the film was developed the little tab next to the numbers will be punched in by the photo lab.
Montclair Photo still processes 35mm, 110, 126, 120/220 film and disposable cameras in-house. We can develop C-41 color negatives, Black and White film, and E-6 Slides. You will get your negatives back at time of pickup. We will save your negatives for 30 days so please pickup them within a month. We have been processing film since 1979. We were the FIRST 1 Hour Photo Lab in the Bay Area.

Develop and Print
Our experienced photo finishing experts individually view and correct each print for optimum quality, ensuring that our customers receive the most accurate and beautiful photographs possible. We only charge for the prints we print. We do not print pictures that are blurred, very under or over exposed, or prints that look like they were shot to waste the roll. If you do want all your prints printed please let us know at time of drop off. Your choice of glossy or matte finishing.
