Photomedia has two, new, large darkroom complexes. One caters for colour and black and white photography with two state-of-the-art wide-format paper processors, and the other caters for mural printing, fine printing, toning, and non-silver techniques. Photomedia also has a digital studio for digital photography input, scanning and printing, as well as digital video, animation and multimedia.
