Printing Services

Gerlach’s Connecticut barn houses an 800 sq ft darkroom equipped with Cole Weston’s Saltzman enlarger and capable of producing mural sized prints in a variety of historical printing processes including platinum, carbon, albumen and silver gelatin. In addition to full service archival printing of photographs and portfolios, clients are welcome to stay in a private apartment while they use the fully equipped darkroom to print with Gerlach’s oversight.
