Large Format Digital Printing

Blow Up Lab is a large format digital print house in San Francisco and serving customers worldwide. Owned and operated by Frank McGrath since 1977, the Lab was the first in the city to convert from traditional chemical photo processing to 100% digital in January '00. Always experimenting and following technological advancements, Blow Up Lab prides itself on its ability to offer clients custom, state-of-the-art digital production with old-fashioned, personalized service.

Today we bid farewell and happy retirement to Max, our mounting/finishing specialist for over 12 years. A true artisan. He's filled our Lab with endless showtunes and homemade pastries and we're going to miss him dearly!
