What We Do
We copy all to a high professional standard using our Noritsu HS-1800 and Hasselblad copying equipment whether it’s commercial or family archives to share for the next generation.
We take hi-resolution scans of all types of photographs old or new, loose or in albums, negatives or slides, both 35mm slides and non-standard, mounted and non-mounted and save them in a digital format. Standard format is JPG but PNG or TIFF files can also be requested.
- Scanned at 3200 dpi resolution
- Scanned as JPG files
- Colour & contrast correction & rotated where needed
- Dust reduction using static brush, compressed air
- ICE cleaning technology
DPI
Extensive scanning and research has proven that 3200 dpi is the optimum for the commercial scanners we use. 3200 dpi also ensures that customers receive high quality resolution files that are manageable in terms of file size and allow for large reprints if needed with optimum detail quality.
No Upfront Payment
We’ll confirm the total cost once your images have arrived and have been assessed.
