Let’s party 🎉
We’re turning 5 and feeling alive and we have a new clothing collection to show off.
Not only are we celebrating our 5th birthday, but we have also been very busy with the legends over at @unikclothingltd producing some amazing clothes, so what better way to celebrate than having a joint party.
Expect all the usual shenanigans, balloons, music, giveaways and as it’s on a Friday this year there are no excuses.
So bring your cameras, browse the new collection and have a boogie.
This will be an Incredible celebration and as always a way for us to say thank you to everyone who supports us, meet new faces, catch up with old ones and celebrate the incredible creative scene here in Manchester.
📍 @thenewcross
🗺️ Cross Keys Street, Manchester, M4 5ET
🗓️ Friday 20th November
🕔 5pm - 12am
First 50 happy hour beers, wines or ciders on us! Be there or be 6x6.
Big love CTL & UN:IK

⚠️ ECN-2 Processing Update ⚠️
From Thursday 19th November, we will no longer be accepting orders for ECN-2 processing.
We have noticed a downturn in ECN-2 remjet coated films as the newer AHU films have started dominating the market. This means there has been less demand for the service, which in turn makes it harder to maintain.
We are thankful that the most popular film stocks are now widely available in AHU - as we can process these in-house in C41 with incredible results, we will no longer need to rely on a third party for processing. So far, the results we have seen have been superb, and for us, this means we gain back control of the whole process and can remain in control of the turnaround times and, most importantly, the developing.
We have always aimed to achieve the best results. Anything short of perfect isn’t good enough. We achieve this with our in-house services by running control strips, maintaining our equipment to the highest standard and monitoring all processes carefully from development to packing. We have always wanted to give you the best, and we feel the ECN-2 service had started falling short of this.
For many years, ECN-2 respooling has been an incredible way to shoot great film stocks at lower costs. We hope to see this continue in the form of respooled AHU films.
If you have already placed an order for ECN-2 processing, the final date to get your existing ECN-2 orders to us will be Friday 20th November. ECN-2 processing services will be removed from the website at midnight on Sunday 8th November, and the last in-lab orders will be taken on Thursday 19th November at 5pm.
Thank you all for the continued support. It’s never easy to drop a service, but we hope this is a positive step forward.
Big love,
CTL

For our 5th year we want to shout about our amazing clients in every way we can, so from now until the end of the year we will be featuring a photographer or artist each Thursday. As part of this we will be producing a 10x8 print of each featured image with the plan to exhibit all of the images in an exhibition at the beginning of next year.
We are so privileged to work with such a broad range of photographers and artists who all have such a diverse range of practices and approaches to using the lab - we want to be able to reflect this on our platform and spend this year building an even stronger community.

Thank you to everyone who has ‘come through’ these doors either in person or by post, online and in lab and to everyone who continues to support the lab, both new and old, the love we have received has been unlike anything I could have ever expected.
Heres to 5 more,
Big big love from Ciaran and the whole CTL team ❤️
