What type of equipment do you use?
|
We offer two kinds of prints scanning to allow you to choose the equipment and
price that fits your needs. Our
economy print scanning solution is great if a low price is more important
than the highest quality. We use a Kodak s1220 scanner for these scans.
The Kodak s1220 is faster but has several limitations and problems.
See our page on the Kodak s1220.
Our archival quality print scanning is the best solution if you want a high
quality scan for archiving and reprinting. We use high quality flatbed
scanners and several proprietary dust management solutions including manually
fixing dust spots during our post production phase.

We also will crop your images to remove any border left by the scanning equipment.
