Imacon Flextight 848 scans

No Spinning or Oil to Potentially Ruin Your Originals!

All scans are 16-bit RGB files saved as .TIF files using the Adobe RGB Color Profile. Our best attempt is made to match the original transparency. In the case of negative materials, we attempt to find a neutral area as a basis for color correction. Your files are kept on our hard drive for ten days as a professional courtesy.

Notes

We have a large selection of Imacon film holders for scanning all popular sized film formats up to 5x7. If you have an odd-sized format please contact us to discuss options, as Imacon holders may have to be custom made to accommodate your format.

Normal turnaround is 48 hours.

As a courtesy, we hold your files on our hard drive for ten days after delivery of your order. Using our media, we will archive your image for $5.00 for a period of 90-days.

Please indicate desired cropping if you only want us to scan a portion of your original.

Ganging individual pieces of film is not possible.

Confused about ordering scans based on file size instead of resolution or percentages? Simply open a new file in Adobe Photoshop and use the “Image Size” command to determine the equivalent file size (in megabytes) for your application. Or contact us for more help.

Note that 16-bit scans are twice the file size of 8-bit scans. If you normally print an 8" x 10" @ 300 dpi, 20.6 mb RGB 8-bit file, the scan you need is at least a 41.2 mb (plus extra from cropping) as a 16-bit file.

Don’t miss our comparison between our Imacon 848 and an Epson 3200 flatbed.

Epson 4000 inkjet Prints

We make inkjet prints at a level comparable to our traditional color "C" prints. In fact, our prices are identical for repro and commercial prints, so simply use the same price list.

The Epson 4000 uses 17-inch wide media and their archival Ultrachrome pigment inks. We generally use Epson Enhanced Matte Paper.

35mm Slides from Digital Files

Often used by artists to submit their work to galleries and shows, our film recorder writes up to 4096 x 2732 pixel resolution on 35mm slide film. Customers may submit Photoshop, TIF, or JPG files via snail mail or online file transfer.

The first individual slide is $2.50. Additional copies are $1.25 each. In most cases a moderate sized file of 8 to 12 megabytes, 1500 to 2500 pixels tall, in 8-bit RGB color, saved as a high quality JPG, will work great. We recommend sending large files using the easy-to-use online file transfer service from www.yousendit.com.

We use a Polaroid ProPalette 8K Film Recorder. For complete specs, you can download a PDF User Guide.

Scans must be “burnt” onto industry standard CD-R media for delivery. Mac and PC compatible.

More information about Mitsui Archival CD-Rs. A quote from their website says, "The inherent stability of our patented Phthalocyanine dye (sure, easy for you to say) means that MAM-A Archive discs last longer than conventional CD-R media. Learn why MAM-A media is the best alternative for long term backups."

While no CD-R media has been proven to be archival, and we make no promises that any CD-R will be archival, the Mitsui CD-Rs do appear to be well made and it seems plausible that they probably are more long lasting than other CD-Rs.

We also offer a full range of digital imaging consulting, training and illustrative services through our association with Frank Petronio, a highly regarded Photoshop "pioneer." Frank’s services include doing advanced retouching and restoration work, creating silhouettes and drop shadows, CMYK conversions and pre-press, plus a wide range of creative illustration and design work. He teaches art directors, designers and photographers and is a digital imaging consultant to companies including Adobe Systems and Dai Nippon Screen. Contact us for details on working with Frank.
