They produced the best high speed release prints of any lab.  |  IP: Logged Paul Gordon Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 580 From: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Registered: Aug 2005 posted 03-30-2012 07:12 AM                        Deluxe's lab in T.O is closing in the next couple months to.

Can someone make sure it stays in the archives or the hands of a collector instead of destroyed when it's finished its run?  |  IP: Logged F. Hudson Miller Film Handler Posts: 48 From: Los Angeles, CA, USA Registered: Jun 2009 posted 06-07-2012 05:55 PM                  All that work has been moved to the Deluxe lab in Hollywood (IATSE). Slowly, and sadly 35mm is fading into the sunset. Technicolor subbed all its Hollywood 35mm (neg & print) to Deluxe Hollywood, only maintaining lab facilities (Glendale) for 65/70mm.  |  IP: Logged Paul Gordon Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 580 From: Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Registered: Aug 2005 posted 06-08-2012 07:25 AM                        Their Montreal lab is closing in October. Vancouver film labs is also closing in the fall. In Canada that leaves only Vision Global in Montreal and Niagara Custom Labs in Toronto for colour processing and printing. The big boys have left.  |  IP: Logged
