Scans from individual processed film 35mm, 120, 5x4 & Artwork
Web scans are only of web or very small outputs these are low Res for screen.
Upto 30MB files will cover an image upto A4 so for any image in a A4 document this is the size you want.
For scans between 30 - 50 MB will output around A3 depending on printing method used.
100MB file sizes can output anything around A2 or A1.
All Scans are specific to requirements of size(print or image size), resolution(dpi), and RGB or CMYK. Please give details when ordering. Prices inc CD.
CD Writing.
It is necessary to put scans onto CD because they will not fit onto floppy disks unless the files arecompressed into JPEG format, which is unwise because the quality of the scan is reduced becauseof the high compression. We save the scans in TIFF format which hardly alters the original scan,although the file sizes are bigger.
The CD holds 700MB of information: you don't have to write all of this at once - you can do it inseveral sessions. These do take up 10MB per session so it is unwise to use too many, plus it costs and additional £5 for every time we have to write a session. The CD can be written in any format for Mac or PC or a Hybrid format which can be read by both platforms.
CD Writing from supplied data/duplicate CDs.
Apart from storing scans, CDs can be used to produce libraries or archives of your floppy disks or zipdisks. You can also have a CD of your artwork or backup your Hard Drive. You can have CDs madefor promotional and distribution purposes.
The information can be dropped off, sent or we can pickup (time allowing). The Disks can be
standard floppy 2.5" or Zip disks. If you have a Zip drive but only one or two disks you can hire additional disks for £2 each. Each disk holds 100MB so to fill a CD you would need 7 - you can hire 7disks for £7. And obviously the information can be sent on CD for back up or duplication.
The CD is made with a cover or an index of the information. If you wish to have a CD duplicated for backup purposes we offer a service where you can have a backup copy done. The CD can be made with a cover or an index of the information
Backup and duplication copies of CD's £15 each
