Dry Minilab

It’s time to move on, isn’t it?

Together with thousands of photo professionals you have the same thoughts: Why pay for extensive service contracts? Why overpay on energy consumption, chemical waste disposal, and repair parts? Why manage a photo system full time when it can be managed on demand? Why not be able to go with a more eco-friendly solution?

Silver Halide is becoming too expensive when print numbers are decreasing. Think dry, make sure to reduce your total cost of ownership and to maximise your profits.

DNP invites you to move on to a Nexlab – less hassle, lower costs, more time for your business!
