Raleigh · Garner · the Triangle
NC Tri-Color Imaging is a professional photo lab about ten miles south of downtown Raleigh, in Garner. Since 1972 we have printed for Raleigh families, artists and working photographers on real photographic paper, with a person checking every order before it leaves the building.
A Raleigh-area photo lab
When you print photos in Raleigh, you want the colors you saw on screen, paper that will last, and someone you can call if something looks off. That is what a local lab is for.
01 — Paper
Our photo prints come off a Fuji Frontier onto genuine Fujicolor Crystal Archive paper, a true silver-halide photographic print. Choose Crystal Archive for everyday prints, or Crystal Archive DPII when you want our most premium paper.
02 — People
Every order is checked by hand before it ships or goes out for pickup. Color correction is available on print orders, and when you call, a real person in Garner picks up the phone.
03 — Convenience
Order online from anywhere in Raleigh and choose in-store pickup at our Garner lab, or have it shipped to your door. Standard shipping is $8.95 on prints up to 11x14, and free on orders of $100 or more.
What Raleigh customers print with us
Prints
Sizes from 3.5x5 up to 12x18 in a lustre finish. Upload a whole folder at once with bulk ordering, set quantities by size, and check out in a few minutes. Perfect for family photos, school projects, real estate and event prints.
Large format
Big prints for walls, offices and shows, on professional photo papers. A good choice when a standard enlargement is not big enough for the space.

Wall art
Vivid metal prints and glossy acrylic prints for modern spaces, ordered through us and delivered ready to hang.
Fine art
Fine-art cotton paper with a soft, hand-torn edge for portraits, landscapes and artwork reproductions. See all fine art prints.

For Raleigh photographers
Raleigh portrait, wedding, school and sports photographers use our full catalog through ROES, our desktop ordering software. It is built for high-volume work: drag images into templates, batch sports and event packages, and save jobs offline. We also offer retouching, drop-shipping straight to your clients, and free ICC profiles for every paper we print on, so you can soft-proof before you order. Learn about pro accounts or download ROES.
Serving the Triangle
Our Garner lab is an easy trip from downtown Raleigh, North Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Clayton, Knightdale and Fuquay-Varina. You can order online in the evening and pick up during our morning hours, or have everything shipped. Either way, your prints are made by the same people who have been printing photographs for the Raleigh area for over fifty years.
