Colburn Film Lab

1977 Letter to Customers

Today, movies with sound are an everyday-fact-of-life. Talking pictures were not possible until 1927, when the recorded voice and the projected image finally could be synchronized.

That year George Colburn became excited with the potential of this new medium and established a film printing business…the beginning of Colburn Film Laboratory. George was a mechanical genius whose inventions and innovations parallelled the technical development and growth of the industry. The lab soon became known for its quality prints and the ability to solve tough problems relating to film and sound.

Our lab is guided by this basic philosophy… “The Touch of Colburn”. This means skilled personnel…dedicated to the production of quality prints and sound reproduction…using the latest in film technology…and sensitive to your goals. Movies are better than ever.
