High quality film scans don’t have to break the bank.
As a photographer myself, I wanted to offer a straightforward, high resolution drum scanning service because I was shocked at the prices of other labs. The average nationwide price to get 8×10” film drum scanned is over $250 per sheet. Our price is nearly half that.
Looking through the dark Plexi cover glass into the drum scanner. The light is where the scanning is taking place all whilst the drum is spinning the film in front of it.
What is drum scanning?
Film or transparencies are wrapped around an optically clear tube, taped down then oil is introduced in to the “sleeve”. Once mounted on the spindle, the tube spins for about 10 minutes and then the scan is done. With 11,000 DPI with 14 bit depth as our maximum scan, the quality is spectacular.
