ABOUT DYM

DYM is a darkroom printing service located in Toronto. We provide prints in both colour (RA-4) and B&W. Our darkroom prints (sometimes referred to as handprints or optical prints) are made using traditional darkroom paper and chemistry here in Toronto. Whether it’s colour or B&W, we use a dry-to-dry process, allowing for optimal consistency in the development process.

Current locations for dropping off negatives and placing an order include Memento Film Lab (216 Ossington Ave.) and C41 Film Labs (163 Sterling Rd.).
