Summer Showdown 2026

🎞️ The Great Printpoint
Film Checkers Tournament!

We love film. We live film. We play film.

We believe a great local film lab should do more than just process your negatives; it should be a place that brings the fun, the nostalgia, and the community together through photography. With the summer sun finally arriving, we decided it's time to celebrate the good weather and our 10 years in business and our incredible local photography community with a twist.

🔴 The Twist

Film Canister Checkers

We are tossing out the traditional red and black checkers pieces! Instead, we’re raiding our recycling bins and using actual film canisters as our game pieces.

1

Pick Your Aesthetic

Whether you are a die-hard Team Kodak fan, loyal to the Fuji Team, or want to play with some of our other selection of classic film stocks, you get to choose the checkers you want to conquer the board with.

2

The Challenge is Simple

The Printpoint Team vs. The Clients. When you drop off your next roll for 35mm film processing, you can challenge whoever is behind the counter to a quick game of checkers.

Play for the Glory

Step up to the counter, state your choice of film canister stock, and show us your tactical moves. A single quick game stands between you and amazing prizes!

Team Kodak
Kodak Gold 200
