MPC Darkrooms

Mpls Photo Center is dedicated to preserving traditional photographic processes as well as facilitating innovation among our members via alternative processes and combined application of digital and darkroom technologies. Our two spacious darkrooms - one for black & white and color print making and one for black and white and C-41 color film processing. Here our members not only discover (or re-discover) the magic of the darkroom through our many classes and workshops, but also develop and print their own work.

The darkrooms have tanks, reels, washers, trays and print easels and feature eight enlargers, from 35mm to 4x5, as well as extra large sinks capable of developing prints up to 20x24. You are responsible for your own darkroom chemistry. You can bring your own or, we offer film and print developer as well as stop, fix and fix remover for $2.75 per 20 oz solution. The chemicals are located in a locker so one of our techs will help you. Payment is due at the time of chemicals being dispensed.

Darkroom Fees: $10.00 per visit beyond member benefit hours (see Membership details for more information).
