High Resolution Scanning Services - Drum scans, flatbed, web scans
PDF Print E-mail
The first and perhaps the most critical step towards the digital arena is scanning. But, with so many different types of scans out there, it can be difficult to determine which is the best scan for your needs. Nothing is more frustrating than scanning an image for one project, only to find out that you need more resolution for a later project. Now your back to the service bureau for another scan, and more delays. At Reed Photo-Imaging we offer you the foresight to get the right type of scan that will work for you now, and for future projects as well. Several options are available, from Durst Sigma and Imacon to our top of the line Howtek and Isomet Drum Scans.
If low dollar 4-color output is your goal, The Durst Sigma scans are an excellent low cost alternative to a drum scan. With improved quality over desktop scanners, the Durst Sigma scans are ideal for the designer with a budget minded client. If your needs are high-end 4-color or the ever demanding requirements of continuous-tone reproduction, our premium drum scans are your best option.
High Resolution Drum Scans
For the highest resolution RGB (Red, Green, Blue) scans we reccomend our Drum Scans. Our scanners will raster transparencies, negatives and flat art (as long as it can be taped to the drum) up to 20" x 24" in size, at the highest quality possible. Using Photo Multiplier Tube (PMT) technology allows a maximum usable dynamic range of approx 4.2 to 4.4. Much higher than the typical desktop scanners using Charge Coupled Device (CCD) technology. What this means to you is deeper shadow detail without the typical color breaks or gradient banding of inferior scanning methods. Every image is scanned on it's own merit. This means that we never use "global" corrections based on film type. Instead, every drum scan is corrected on an image by image basis. We know your prized images are not shot under generic conditions, why should your scans be handled that way? To further enhance the quality of your scan, all transparencies and negatives are oil mounted to the drum. This helps to eliminate dust and can actually hide small scratches and abrasions in the film, which saves you valuable time. Our attention to detail, giving close scrutiny to color fidelity, density, shadow & highlight detail, and overall sharpness truly makes this a custom scan. If you need a high quality scan that supports photographic output or large format digital printing, you can't beat our high resolution drum scans.
