Scanning
Want to turn your film into digital files?
Whether you need state-of-the-art high-resolution film scanning on our Hasselblad Flextight X5 scanner, you want to bulk scan that box of slides you found in the back of a closet, or something in between, we have the capabilities to fit your needs and budget.
We can also make high-quality flat bed scans of your prints up to A3.
If you need us to copy your larger photos and artworks, we use a Hasselblad digital camera in our shooting studio.
Frontier Scans
The Frontier scanner, our most cost-effective option, is designed to scan negatives, but can also scan transparencies. The transparencies are good, but not great in the highlight and shadow detail.
We can use the Frontier to scan from 135mm and 120 film.
Frontier scans are direct output. We air blow the film before we scan, but all post production and corrections will be up to you.
Files are 8 bit, Untagged RGB, 72ppi, jpg format. They will need to be converted to 300ppi to print.

X5 Scans
Full Service Clean - up.
The Hasselblad Flextight X5 Scanner is world renowned for quality. It scans film while under tension, similar to a drum scanner, but without the oil mounting.
This scanner achieves super-sharp, exhibition-quality images from 135mm, 6x45, 6x6, 6x7, 6x9 and 5x4-inch negatives and transparencies. We also have a custom-made full-frame 135mm film holder. Scans are fully spotted and colour corrected to your specifications.
These are print ready files that might require some minor adjustments to your taste, or you can give them directly to our fine art printers to make your prints without having to do any corrections yourself.
Files are 16 bit Adobe RGB (1998), 300ppi format. Supplied as tif file and low resolution jpg file.
