Photo labs across the globe are looking to the future as the industry continues to change. Rising material costs, supply chain shortages, extended lead times, and environmental concerns over the waste produced in the photo finishing process have led many photo labs to seek out more modern solutions that can still provide customers with beautiful photo prints of their cherished memories. One of the most sustainable answers, both economically and environmentally, is silver halide replacement (SHR™).
Unlike silver halide, which requires specialised photo paper, SHR can be performed with the photo lab’s paper of choice. Labs can also replicate the look and feel of photo paper in-house using matt laminates.
SHR materials are not subject to the same speciality pricing as silver halide materials. Photo labs can use these savings to increase margins and expand product offerings to draw in new business.
SHR does not employ harmful chemicals or impact water systems with waste materials. Plastic laminates can be cleaned up quickly and reduce a photo lab’s impact on the environment.
For many years, Nobelus has partnered with photo labs that report switching to SHR has benefited their business in numerous ways.
Nobelus understands that moving to digital processes is no small adjustment. Our team has years of experience partnering with photo labs to integrate SHR into their regular processes, making the swap more gradual and manageable while allowing our customers to compare the quality of their SHR photos to silver halide in trial runs.
