“We have been using the Chromira Prolab for almost a year now and as a high volume lab with print sizes ranging from 10”x8 to 20”x66”, we are delighted with the high standard of image quality that the Chromira produces. The simple and easy to use system makes the work flow smoothly through the lab. Being able to send orders from various computer stations is also a bonus allowing the workload to be spread between staff. Changing paper has also become easier and faster than our previous printer. With the automatic mixed-size sorting we have the flexibility to use a larger paper size, allowing us to print multiple orders at the same time. The Chromira is also so compact that we were able to use the extra space to add a paper cutting table into our lab. The Chromira has been very reliable, running constantly all day and is easy to maintain. In case of any technical problems the UK team, ATech Ltd are always at the end of the phone. Their knowledge and friendly personalities make them a pleasure to work with. I cannot tell you how amazing A-Tech have been right from the beginning here from in installing the machine right through to training, faultless!”

“The Chromira ProLab has created more business for us in both professional and consumer markets. We have new products, and a more capable and smooth workflow with Chromira’s WorkStream software. We’ve enabled faster turnarounds and decreased direct labor cost by taking out manual sorting and cutting. We used to be too busy to service professional photographers on a greater scale, but better delivery time has gained us more professional photographic customers. Now, we take great care of the pros and give them much better prices. They are happy…and so are we!
The biggest thing that drew us to the Chromira ProLab was the all-in-one solution with automatic mixed-size cutting and sorting. The Chromira ProLab saved space, and it streamlined our photographic process, workflow, and quality. All of our output goes through it. We used to have an Oce LightJet, Konica R-1 mini-lab, a Kreonite processor, and a big darkroom, about 500 sq ft. We were able to replace all these machines with one. We saved a tremendous amount of space, not to mention energy.
The Chromira ProLab gives us lots of speed and a versatile process. It was everything we expected.”

“We’ve been running the ZBE Chromira ProLab since October 2007! It is wondrous! Our workflow has been so smooth. We attribute this success to both the printer and your excellent staff. ZBE team and their products have earned our trust.
The ZBE Chromira ProLab is in a class all by itself… It is a revolutionary printer that does it all! We love the space saving footprint. Its modular design fits any area. It back-prints all sizes from 4”x5” to 30” X 100”. It fits any popular workflow providing convenience and productivity.
All this and it is made here in the good old USA! Thanks ZBE!!!”

“Buying the new Chromira ProLab has significantly reduced our amount of photo paper waste. Also, we believe that by being an exclusively photographic lab, we create heirloom prints that aren’t trendy or disposable. People are purchasing a truly archival print that is meant to pass down through the generations in the same way that a piece of fine furniture would. We believe that true photo quality sways the public from printing at home, which saves ink and paper.”

“Our success has always depended on offering good quality at competitive prices. The digital printer and processor we were formerly using were proving too time-consuming which prohibited us from reducing prices to where we’d like them. The Chromira ProLab proved to be the answer; it has literally transformed our in-lab working practices, streamlining production to the extent that we use just one of our two Frontiers for smaller print sizes and long print runs (such as flyers). The Chromira can easily cope with the remaining work in a seamless fashion. We are also delighted with the quality it produces: very sharp, vibrant colours and excellent gradation.
We chose the Prolab for its innovative, streamlined design, versatility, and great quality. Plus, we knew the UK distributors, Atech Ltd. They are very service-based in their approach, which is very important when your business is based on an island in the English Channel! Not only were we buying new equipment; we were moving premises also! Their considerable experience in the photographic and photo-imaging field, plus their very “hands on” approach made the transition from the old lab to our new premises a breeze.”

“We’re different than the average professional lab. We’re also a high-volume consumer lab. We really work the machine, producing 5,000-6,000 prints a day. We got a Chromira ProLab because we wanted a machine that could produce all of our sizes on matched paper stock – and had a processor attached – because machine matching is a nightmare. The ProLab has great output. Since we got the ProLab, we can promote ourselves better and market to different segments.”

“We have owned three Chromira printers, and still own all of them. Technicare had a business relationship with Zac Bogart that predated his entry into the printer business. In 2002 Technicare bought a first generation 50 inch 1X roll to roll machine that we still run today, and we expect to run it for the foreseeable future. When the Chromira Pro Lab arrived we bought the 5th unit that shipped. We still have it as well. The second unit we bought for capacity expansion and is running well to this day. We tested a large number of printers looking for a machine that had size flexibility, and was capable of printing accurately and repeatably sized images and sheets for book assembly. Chromira was the winner. The units being built today have a wet section engineered and built by ZBE themselves as they no longer wanted to be dependent on outside suppliers. You will find that the ZBE Pro Labs are reasonably priced, well engineered, and very capable machines. We have always purchased annual parts warranties and serviced the hardware ourselves. The integration with DP2 is solid.”
