Sepia Tone photos


Hi,

I was wondering what type of 35mm negative or slide film can you use to be able to print sepia tone prints?
I do not have my own dark room, so I would need to rely on a professional photo shop to do the developing and printing.

Thanks.

  Sepia toning is performed when making the print. It does not matter what film you use. With traditional b&w printing it is a custom chemical process that you'll have to pay extra for.

With C-41 b&w films (that are developed using the color print process rather than traditional b&w developing chemicals), printing on color paper and adjusting the color balance on the printer can give the sepia tone effect. Some shops may (or may not) do this for no extra charge.

  Paula: There is now a special paper we use to produce sepia prints from Negs.only (color or B&W film) this paper is not the standard color paper that tries to emulate a sepia look.This is a true sepia paper.If you we can be of assistance please E-mail us at Gene@tpiphoto.com
