What customers say
Perfectly run color and black and white darkroom, fab digital printing and also a truely lovely place to work. A favorite place in NYC.
I've been using MOCL for about 2 years for digital prints. I do all my art and gallery prints here. The quality is consistently excellent but it's the time and attention the staff gives me and my work that makes this my favorite place to print. The atmosphere and friendliness the staff create is unmatched.
LOVE this place! I've been a loyal customer since 2007, they are knowledgable, helpful, kind, and fast!! My Own Color Lab staff and expertise is a national treasure.
I have used My Own Color for over 20 years. I would not use any other lab for my printing, both color or b/w. Gerard and the crew are a joy to work with. They are professional and very knowledgeable, which is why this review should be 10 stars instead of 5.
