Hours
Our lab is open by appointment or by chance.
We are mostly here from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday but you should always let us know when you are coming by so that we don't leave on an errand or are unable to be interrupted.

SCANNING |
|
|
|
|
|
We offer scanning of film originals up to 5"x7" on our Imacon Precision III. With optical resolution up to 6,300 ppi and 4.2 maximum density, the Imacon holds the film in an arc so that the light source and ccds always scan the film at exactly the same focus point, providing absolute film flatness. Resolution and detail rival scans made on a drum scanner. |
|
|
|
|
|
But if it’s a drum scan you need, we offer the best. Made on our Heidelberg Chromagraph S3900, this scanner delivers resolution up to 24,000 ppi and unsurpassed dynamic range. Film or reflective originals up to 20"x24" can be scanned; film is fluid mounted for optimum results. |
|
|
|
|
|
Reflective originals up to 12"x18" are scanned on our Heidelberg Nexscan flatbed scanner. Optical resolution of 5,280 ppi and a maximum density of 4.2 provide superior files from your artwork.
|
|
|
|
|
|
• Originals can be transparencies, negatives, or reflective art
• Output file format is 8-bit/RGB TIFF (16-bit is available)
• All scans spotted for dust and slight imperfections
• Minimum charge is $25.00
• Prices are based on uncompressed file sizes. |

Digital Captures |
|
|
|
|
|
When your artwork can’t be scanned because of size or medium, we can capture it with our Phase One IQ160 digital back. Using the IQ160 mounted on a view camera with a Flexadapter sliding back, the native file size (in 8-bit color) of 181 mb can be increased to 340 mb or more. Stunningly crisp reproduction with extremely accurate color matching, these files can be the basis for outstanding gicleé or lithographic prints. Files are provided as 8-bit/RGB TIFF (16-bit is available), color corrected to the closest possible match to your artwork. |

CONVERSIONS |
|
|
|
|
|
Optimum offset reproduction requires more that just a mouse click.
We can insure that your image will reproduce properly on press with a conversion that anticipates press conditions and is adjusted to take full advantage of the cmyk color space. |
|
|
|
|
|
Converting from color to black and white demands that contrast that relies on color be changed to contrast that relies on luminance. We evaluate each image and adjust to maintain tonal separation in each important area. |

BLACK AND WHITE PROOFS |
|
|
|
|
|
Proofs of your black & white negatives are made by scanning your 35mm or 120 roll film or your sheet film and printing on our inkjet printers. Cost of a proof includes the scan and print. |
|
|
|
|
|
A proof is made from one roll of film (35mm or 120) or four 4x5 sheets of film. Enlarged proofs yield a larger image for easier viewing, a particular advantage for smaller format film. |
