If
you want to do a job well, it helps to have the right tool. Our
Creo iQsmart3 flatbed scanner is a very versatile tool that allows
you to meet a variety of photographic needs. It is capable of
incredible quality, with a maximum optical resolution of 5500
dpi, a maximum density of 4.1, and a density range of 3.9.
But
its most exciting abilities are the result of its flatbed design.
Since original artwork doesn’t need to be wrapped around
a drum, it can scan anything that can be placed on its flatbed.
That includes slides, color negatives, B&W negatives, historic
glass plates, and nitrate negatives. It can also scan prints
and non-photographic work like watercolors and other artwork.
And it can handle originals up to 12x18 inches in size.
Another
way it differs from our Tango Drum Scanner is
that wet mounting is optional with the Creo. While wet mounting
always increases quality when scanning film originals, it is
very time consuming, which adds to the cost of the scan. It is
also not practical for some originals, such as glass plates and
old nitrate negatives.
Premium
CCD Scans are made with the same attention-to-detail we give
our drum scans. They are geared to the needs of fine artists.
Individual decisions are carefully made for each original. Film
originals are carefully cleaned to minimize dust, and then are
wet mounted with KAMI fluid (when appropriate) for optimum color
and density. Flat artwork does not require cleaning or wet mounting
to be scanned. Quality is geared to fine art photographic quality
printing.

Our
Creo iQsmart3 flatbed scanner has unique capabilities that compliment
our Tango Drum Scanner, allowing us
to meet a wide variety of scanning needs. With a maximum optical
resolution of 5500 dpi, a maximum density of 4.1, and a density
range of 3.9, it produces superb quality. Because it is a flatbed
scanner, it allows us to scan mounted prints and other artwork
that must stay flat and cannot be mounted on a drum scanner.
It also has special color negative settings that give us greater
control when scanning color negatives. A 12x18-inch scanning
area allows us to handle even large originals.

*We
must use a significant amount of materials to scan 8x10 and larger
film. Therefore, we have a minimum scan charge of $49.95 per
image for 8x10 or larger film. This charge does not apply to
6x17cm or 6x12cm panos. Please
contact us for custom pricing if you have a large quantity
of large film you need us to scan.
Stock
Photography and Photo Collection Scans are made to meet the needs
of stock photographers, museums, historical societies, and other
institutions who need to scan large quantities of film and prints.
These
scans are made on our Creo iQsmart3 flatbed scanner, and do not
use the wet mounting process. As a result, labor is significantly
reduced, which reduces the cost, allowing us to make many more
scans per hour.
Quality
is geared to the needs of offset reproduction on printing presses,
online display of photographic collections, and the print needs
of institutional collections.
Pricing
is based on the size of the original, and the size in MB of the
scan. Minimum order is $100. Custom solutions can be created
for any scanning need, including on-site scanning for large archives.
