About Us
The East London SuperLab is a dynamic digital printing service with humble beginnings, inspired by Alan's darkroom and inkjet initiatives in the early 1990s until today. Set up in the heart of the Alan McFetridge studio, ELS will help artists and photographers realise their work into print. ELS supports eco-critical debates and action in a socially dynamic studio space.
The superlab will offer a range of services, curated to suit anyone who seeks to fine prints, regardless of their current knowledge or expertise. The three services are as follow:
The Print Room Service
Set up to cater to individuals who want to be completely involved in their own printing process, this service gives you full access to the ELS equipment and a social, creative space to develop your practice through print.
Self Service
Similarly to the Print Room, Self Service allows for flexibility, quick turnarounds and costs that reflect a more self-involved process that supports the complete customisation of your artwork. All you’ll need to do is prepare your print and send it to us. Easy!
Custom Printing
Alternatively, if you require more assistance and guidance, custom printing is a one-to-one relationship with an experienced printer to manage and handle the journey from a digital negative to fine print.
Our website page will feature more information on how to use the different services, upload your files, how to book them and will be available from the opening on the 27th January!
