Photo Printing Services

Are all photo printing methods the same?

No, photo printing varies significantly. Many local businesses offer photo printing, flex printing, and book printing services, but very few reach the level of photo labs that use premium color development techniques. Only a handful of such color labs exist between Kalanki and Chabahil, with Photo Pasal Pvt. Ltd. as one of the few that provides silver halide printing services. This method is renowned for producing vibrant, durable prints and high-quality photo albums using the world’s most advanced technology.

The silver halide process involves using paper coated with a thin layer of silver compounds. The photosensitive quality of this paper, combined with precise light exposure and chemical processing, results in prints that can last for centuries without fading. The paper is kept in a light-sealed magazine, then exposed to light and developed through a chemical process at controlled temperatures. This technology ensures prints that are glossy, vibrant, and true to color, with tones that cannot be achieved through ordinary inkjet printing.

Inkjet printing, by contrast, applies ink to the surface of the paper. Although convenient and widely used, these prints are less durable, often fading and peeling within a decade. Silver halide prints, however, do not peel or fade, even when washed or exposed to light, making them ideal for preserving memories over generations.
