Prices vary depending on size and finish.  Take a look at our price list or give us a call to get a quote on your project.

Are you looking for a quality canvas print?  We offer canvas prints either traditional or full wrap with a special UV inhibitor applied after printing to protect your canvas prints for years.

Many places can print your images, most at least get them close to right, if not the first time maybe the fourth or fifth time.


At Paterson Photography we have been printing for years.  Starting with Black & White darkrooms, to our fully automated color system, to our state of the art wide format system we can look after your printing needs, plus we are color trained!  We print for many very picky customers, we are one of them so we know what is expected.  Most lab staff do not even take pictures so they are guessing at colors, density and finishing.


We offer features that pros want and need.  From test strips, to archiving files, to matched prints we look after all the work for you.

Below are a few items that we offer to help make your prints better and your life easier.  This is what sets us apart from other printers;

Test Strips
- how many times have you wished that the print color was changed just a little.  You go to your lab and they tell you that they can do it "If you buy another print."  Then just when you get it close they change operators, or supplies, and you have to start all over.  We offer test strips for your approval if needed.  Bring in your file and we can run off as many color matched tests as you like.  Then once the color is correct we save the color so all your prints will be exact, you will not have to do this each time like at other labs.

Proofing
- When you bring in files to be printed you can check the results on our color corrected monitors.  Then we will adjust the colors while you are waiting so you can see the exact color that your final prints will be.

Color Adjusting, Burning, Dodging
- If you have files that need to be adjusted a little more to get the best image - NO PROBLEM.  All our printing includes color correcting and burning and dodging to the files.

File Archiving
- need prints done regularly from certain files?  We can archive the file on our system, then all you need to do is to call with the sizes and the quantities.  Plus, you know the colors will be the same as all the other work as we save your color preferences.

Color Matching
- one of the biggest problems that photographers face is the fact that they never get the same color on two different print sizes.  Sometimes the difference is night and day.  At Paterson Photography we save the color preferences for each file and when we reprint the colors are as close as the industry can make them.  All our prints from wallets to 44x100 prints will look the same, same color, same density.  Try this at other labs!

Turn Around Time
- everything is printed in house at our Lethbridge office.  Work can be done same day for basic printing or same week for work that requires lamination.  For work that is laminated or coated we like to have three days, one to print, one to dry, and one to laminate if requested.  Rushes may be available.

Archival
- Our printing is rated by independent test labs at an average of 100 years.


Please note:
We do not currently offer you typical print services of 4x6 or 5x7 prints as do one hour labs.
We offer a custom printing service that allows clients to see a color corrected proof before printing and an archiving service that allows clients to get reprints that are matched to your original.
