ABC Photocolour has been servicing the professional photographic community since 1966 and we are proud to provide an all encompassing, complete photofinishing solution. We are a privately owned organization starting with 3 employees (a printer, a retoucher, and a customer service representative) at our first location at 1961 West 4th Avenue and expanding to a company with more than 50 employees. Our main production lab is located at 1618 West 4th Avenue with a satellite location in Surrey.
Our roots began as a professional lab providing services to professional portrait and wedding photographers. As time went on we gradually expanded our services as well as clientele by offering services for the high-end amateur in 1975, commercial imaging in 1986, digital services in 1992 and in 2003 becoming the first Kodak ProShots Lab in western Canada. ABC Photocolour has always been the industry leader in technology and we strive to deliver a quality product as well as an uncompromising level of service and support. We will continue our active role in the photographic industry as we push forward into the digital evolution never forgetting our traditional roots as "Quality is our most important product".
