Stills’ digital labs are situated on the First Floor above the gallery. We are dedicated to providing access to the very latest digital technology in a friendly, comfortable and professional environment. Our facilities have been designed to allow you to take full control of your production process, from start to finish. The Apple Mac Pro workstations run on the latest Mac OX operating systems with high specifications that allow you to deal with large files quickly and easily while our Epson Stylus 4800 A2 printer is fully calibrated and colour managed to produce archival quality large scale ink jet prints.

In addition, our powerful server allows you to set up your own personal account with a secure password. This means that you can transfer files quickly, modify your own desktop and save your personal settings.

Workstations can be booked for 3 hour sessions, a week or a month, while the peripherals are available on an hourly basis. Consumables including paper, ink, CDs, DVDs and mini DV tapes are also available to buy at reasonable prices.

Please note that peripherals are only available for hire during staffed opening hours.

As we have no membership fees, you can start using our facilities by coming along for a 1 hour induction which costs £15. To arrange a suitable time please call us or email resource@stills.org We’ve tried to make our new access structure as flexible as possible so you can come in to use the scanner for an hour or use your space more like a studio; if you book for a week or a month we’ll give you a locker and you can come in at any time during our long opening hours. Stills’ communal areas including broadband access, wi-fi and the library are free to use and there is no need to book, teas and coffees are always available!

Our private meeting room can be hired out for half or full days at very reasonable rates and is discounted for artists and those working in the voluntary sector.

To book a space or piece of equipment call us on 0131 622 6200 or email resource@stills.org Please come to the reception desk on the lower Ground Floor upon arrival.
