The co-op runs a color darkroom and a digital printing facility in the artists' studio complex in Vallila at Lemuntie 4 D, 00510 Helsinki. There are currently 32 members in the Värinä co-op. Värinä's facilities consist of two separate spaces. The darkroom is equipped with five enlarger cubicles and an RA-4 processor for prints up to 76,5 cm wide. The space includes a daylight balanced room with a large metal coated wall for assessing test strips and finished prints. The digital lab includes a 44” Epson SureColor SC-P8000 STD printer for exhibition prints. The printer is run with a Mac and two calibrated Eizo screens. The space also includes a rotating blade trimmer for finishing prints and a metal coated wall for magnetic hanging and assessing results. Värinä also has a Zenith ZC1100 Manual Laminator for cold mounting and laminates. The unique facilities and equipment are available for nonmembers by arrangement at very affordable hourly rates. Both analogue and digital facilities operate on a self-service basis, accessible 24 hours a day. Additional information on our website:
