We offer scans of the highest quality. The highest resolution with on board colour management and sharpening (USM) gives best quality of scans. Combined with the Celcis link to our Macintosh workstations we can softproof and analyse scans on our calibrated monitors before and after scanning using a 'prescan' workflow.

The large originals can be scanned With a huge analyse drum size of 510x635mm. special mounting cradle is used to ensure originals 'wrap' to the drum for tightness. Special overlay foils may be used for some reflection copy originals.

The totally different technology used by the drum scanner for capturing image data from reflective or transmissive copy outputs professional high quality results.Three PMT's are used to capture the red, green, blue pixels as the drum spins at high speed - driven by a powerful xenon light source - looking into dark areas (shadows) and capturing the very light areas (highlights). This wider density range (Dmin and Dmax, 0-4D+) is not possible with flat bed scanners.
This light is then decoded into pixels of varying value at 16 bit depth.
