Your holiday photos back before lunch. Print the holiday before the customer has finished shopping.
A minilab in a shop window develops a film and prints it in an hour, so customers stop posting films away and waiting a week. The machine is dear and the chemistry must be kept right, and the money is in volume, reprints and enlargements. Digital cameras from the early 2000s, and then phones, end the film trade within a few years.
