Our Premium Quality Film Scanning Service is based around the Imacon Flextight 949 film scanner, one of the world's best scanning machines.

Scans from this machine are superb - sharp, colour accurate, and rich in detail.

There is quite simply no other scanning service in Australia that offers anything close to our combination of quality and great pricing.

It's not just that we have one of the best quality scanners available, but also that we really know how to use it properly.

We have been doing this for years, for thousands of satisfied clients - clients who come back to us year after year. Good scanning is really an art form in itself - if you are used to 'pro' lab quality scanning, our service will be an absolute revelation to you in quality (and price!) terms.

For more details on the Imacon Flextight 949 and how it compares to other machines like drum scanners and flat beds, please see this article in our knowledge centre.

Scanning Details

Please see the FAQ for more in-depth discussion of the following notes. If you have any further questions, please get in touch, we'll be happy to help.

Our approach to scanning is always to give you the best possible file from which to produce the best possible print. If you have particular scanning requirements, we will be happy to accommodate you.

Details:

• Scans are not clipped in any way - the full dynamic range of the scanner is used
• Have no sharpening applied
• Are scanned into AdobeRGB 1998 (any other space available on request)
• Are cleaned here with pure compressed air before scanning - usually some final minor spot cleaning will be required
• Black and whites scanned as RGB positives unless requested otherwise - see FAQ for more details
• The resoluton figures listed are true optical resolutions from a super sharp scanner, not inflated/interpolated resolutions that cheaper scanners (and some other scanning services!) offer
• No outrageous 'burning' fees - we burn small jobs to archival Taiyo Yuden CDs or DVDs at no extra charge, and for very large jobs (100GB plus) - we supply your images on a portable hard drive which you can keep.

When you're ready, use these online products to submit your order details and then follow these notes to send/bring your film in.  (Note we do not process your payment until we receive the actual film to be scanned, but submitting your order online means you will get tracking details and notifications by email as your job moves through our queue).
