About

Rooted in Laguna Beach. Trusted by Its Artists.

Supercolor Imaging opened its doors in Laguna Beach in 1985 — before digital photography existed, before smartphones, before anyone had heard the word "inkjet." Our story begins in the darkroom, where skill, chemistry, and patience produced beautiful prints. Those same values guide everything we do today.

Laguna Beach has always been a special place — a city that takes art seriously, where galleries line the streets and festivals like the Pageant of the Masters and the Sawdust Art Festival draw artists and collectors from around the world. We've had the privilege of supporting that creative community for over four decades, helping artists reproduce their work at the highest possible fidelity, preserving family memories, and producing professional materials for local businesses.

Today, Supercolor is owned and operated by the Shahmirian Family, who runs the shop with the same hands-on commitment that has defined us from the beginning. When you bring your project to Supercolor, the team personally handles every detail — from the first conversation to the moment you hold your finished print. No order is too small. No project is too complex.

We've kept pace with technology — adding professional giclée printing, large format capabilities, film-to-digital transfers, artwork scanning with medium-format camera systems, and same-day film processing — but we've never changed what matters most: we treat every customer like a neighbor, because most of them are.

Press Coverage

"Supercolor Imaging does superior photographic and digital work and gives excellent customer service... Supercolor took excellent care of my aunt's original photo albums, with photos from the 1930s and 1940s and later, and finished the project ahead of schedule despite the holiday crush."

The Supercolor Difference

These are the principles that have guided us for over 40 years — and always will.

Quality First

We use professional-grade equipment and archival materials. If it doesn't meet our standards, we reprint it — full stop.

You get a real person, not a kiosk. We take time to understand your project and guide you to the best result.

In-House Only

We never send your film, photos, or artwork to a third party. Your originals stay safe with us from start to finish.

Locally Owned

Every dollar you spend here stays in Laguna Beach and supports a small family business that has served this community since 1985.

Artist Focused

We understand what artists need. From color accuracy to substrate selection, we help your work look exactly as you intended.
