Products, a full-service, personalized digital and photographic laboratory
tailored for youth sports and special events photography,
has added school photo-finishing product services for school photographers.
The same digital workflow systems that MVP pioneered and perfected for
large groups of youth sports and special events are now being utilized
and applied to school picture photography. Until recently, the traditional
film- based school photographer relied on the long role format camera
systems that not only required specific processing equipment at their
lab, but also limited the products and services available to them. With
the advent of new digital camera technologies, school photographers can
now take advantage of MVP’s wide array of digital products and
extended services with a quicker turnaround time at competitive prices.
