Z Lab
Photo laboratory & framing studio in Brussels
Nearly thirty years of Fine Art printing in Belgium.
Z LAB grew out of the experience and the passion of Zahara Micheli, a well-known figure in the world of photography. For close to thirty years she built her craft alongside her husband, Jean-Jacques Micheli, first at the JJ Micheli laboratory and then at Atelier Mikemuka.
Today, Zahara Micheli and her team put that expertise at the service of artists, photographers and image professionals, offering personal guidance in Fine Art printing, photographic printing, mounting and framing.
For us, a Fine Art print is the result of a genuine collaboration between the artist and the printer. We work with you at every stage of your project: choosing the images, selecting the paper, adjusting contrast, colour and density, through to finishing and framing.
Thanks to our experience and our work with art galleries, we also advise you on the formats best suited to your work and on how to present it, so the result stays true to your vision.

Testimonials
Dear Zahara,
I would like to offer you my most sincere thanks for the excellent work you did printing my A3 Cavallino Classic posters.
I particularly appreciated your professionalism, your eye for detail and the flawless quality of the result. Beyond your skill, it was above all your kindness, your availability and your infectious passion for beautiful cars that stayed with me.
It is always a pleasure to meet people who practise their craft with such enthusiasm and warmth. You helped bring out the value of a memory that means a great deal to me, and I am very grateful for it.
I will not hesitate to recommend Z Lab, and I will gladly return for my next projects.
Thierry Aerts A wonderful experience! I needed posters printed fairly quickly and I was very well received and, above all, very well advised. She was extremely responsive and genuinely attentive, taking the time to check the dimensions, the paper and the finish with me so the result would match what I had in mind. Everything was ready the next day, perfectly packed and with great care.
A special mention for her warm welcome and the small thoughtful touches, which really make the difference. I am delighted with the result and will happily return!
Floriane & Gilles Bekkers Cardon Welcome, advice and execution — everything was first-rate! Do not hesitate to go to them for printing sports photographs; the result is magnificent!
Odile Jaume An experience of warmth and shared pleasure.
When you push open the door at Z Lab you are met with an enormous smile and unshakeable optimism. Zahara is there to advise you on your choice of papers and to bring out the best in your photographs. Beautiful prints.

In short, you will genuinely find what you are looking for, and very sound advice.
