Professional Film Scanning Services
Start With A Scanner That Fits Your Project
Noritsu Mini Lab
An economical scanning solution for negatives and chromes. This scanner is optimized for negatives but makes acceptable scans from transparencies and retains your highlights without crushing your blacks – and it’s great with skin tones.
Imacon Flextight X5
The Flextight X5 scanner, by Hasselblad, produces excellent, near-drum scan quality files at a fraction of the drum scan cost. Ideal for editorial, portfolio, retouching, web use or large printing. The X5 scanner has a dynamic range of up to 4.9 and a maximum non-interpolated optical resolution of 8000 dpi for 135mm, 3200 dpi for 120 film and +2000 dpi for 4×5 film, ensuring your color negatives, black & white negatives, and chromes are scanned for optimal quality.
This scanner delivers detailed files suitable for retouching and large prints up to 20×24” (for larger print sizes we recommend a drum scan) from standard frame sizes such as 35mm, 6×4.5cm, 6x6cm, 6x7cm, 6x9cm and 4×5 inches. Each scan is manually adjusted for color and exposure by a skilled technician – you may need to do additional adjustments to achieve optimal results.
Film must be cut to accommodate scanning by this scanner, and these scans will not include rebate, border or sprockets of film.
Color references should be provided when scanning negatives to achieve the most favorable results.
Note: Some cropping may occur.
Crosfield Celcius 6200 Drum Scanner
Priced per single image, a Drum scan captures the full tonal range and detail in any original. Ideal for capturing your image to retouch and larger size reproduction, we scan film from 35mm up to 8×10” and nonstandard film sizes such as 110, 126, and panoramics.
The entire frame of any format – including rebate or borders – can be scanned. Virtually unlimited resolution results in file sizes up to 2GB from any original. This service includes manual adjustments for color and exposure, and will be a reasonable match to originals or unmanipulated photographic samples.
We can also achieve specific output dimensions and resolutions. Slight scratches on the originals are reduced due to the oil-mounting process of the scan. Film strips are cut to accommodate mounting on the glass scanner drum.
If a color reference is not provided, then the color, density, and contrast of the image will be done according to our best discretion.
