135 Negatives (35mm)

• Standard resolution negative scans are scanned at 3200 ppi. This gives you as resolution of about 4200 by 2800 pixels (equivalent to a 12 megapixel digital image).
• High resolution scans are scanned at 4800 ppi..

If there is debris or scratches on the negatives, infra-red scanning may help detect and digitally remove or subdue the artifacts. Infra-red scanning cannot be applied to most types of black and white film or certain slide film as the silver retention in the emulsion prevents the infra-red scan from discerning contamination from the actual layers that represent the photograph.

135 (35mm) Slides (mounted or unmounted)

• Standard resolution slide scans are scanned at a resolution of 3200 ppi (pixels per inch). This will provide you with an image of about 4200x2800 pixels (equivalent to 12 megapixels).
• High resolution scans are scanned at 4800 ppi.

If there is debris or scratches on the slides, infra-red scanning may help detect and digitally remove, or subdue, these artifacts. Infra-red scanning cannot be applied to certain types of slide film, such as kodachrome, as the silver retention in the emulsion prevents the infra-red scan from discerning the unwanted contamination from the actual layers that represent the photographic image.

110 (pocket instamatic) Negatives

• Standard resolution negative scans for 110 negatives are scanned at 4800 ppi.
• High resolution scans for 110 negatives are scanned at 6400 ppi.

APS (IX240) Negatives (price per negative)

• Standard resolution negative scans are scanned at 3200 pixels per inch.
• High resolution scans are scanned at a resolution of 4800 ppi.

Infra-red is used to detect any dust, dirt or scratches on the negatives which is then digitally removed. Though APS negatives have the advantage of residing within a cartridge, there can still be scratches and dust from the time of the original processing when the film was separated from it's cassette.

APS (IX240) Negatives (price per cartridge)

• Standard resolution negative scans are scanned at 3200 pixels per inch.
• Hi resolution negative scans are scanned at 4800 ppi.

If you have several cartridges, it may be cheaper to have the entire cartridge scanned rather that just the negative frames that you require.

Prices are the same for 15, 25 and 40 exposure cartridges.

126 (Instamatic) Negatives or Slides - mounted or unmounted

• Standard resolution negative scans are scanned at a resolution of 3200 pixels per inch.
• High resolution scans are scanned at a resolution of 4800 pixels per inch. Higher resolution scans can be obtained, but there is no noticeable difference in the quality of the scan, as the limiting effects of the film's grain determines the quality of print once you reach 4800 ppi. The scanning process takes longer than the standard scanning method, and may involve combining multiple scans and infra-red scans*

*If there is debris or scratches on the negatives, infra-red scanning may help detect and digitally remove or subdue the artifacts. Infra-red scanning cannot be applied to most types of black and white film or certain slide film as the silver retention in the emulsion prevents the infra-red scan from discerning contamination from the actual layers that represent the photograph.

127 Negatives (common negative sizes are 4x3cm, 4x4cm and 4x6cm

• Standard resolution negative scans for 127 negatives are scanned at a resolution of 3200 ppi. Due to the large size of these negatives this gives you a very large image.
• High resolution scans are scanned at a resolution of 4800 pixels per inch; such a high resolution will allow you to print selected parts of the photo without compromising the digital quality. The high resolution scanning process can take much longer than the standard scanning method, and may involve combining multiple scans and infra-red scans*

*If there is debris or scratches on the negatives, infra-red scanning may help detect and digitally remove or subdue the artifacts. Infra-red scanning cannot be applied to most types of black and white film or certain slide film as the silver retention in the emulsion prevents the infra-red scan from discerning contamination from the actual layers that represent the photograph.

120/220 Negatives (medium format - 6x4.5cm, 6x6cm or 6x9cm)

• Standard Resolution for medium format negatives is 2400 pixels per inch which gives you an extremely high resolution image due to the large size of the negative.
• High resolution scans are scanned at 4800 ppi which would only be necessary if you planned to print only a small selected area of the negative without lowering the digital quality of the image. The high resolution scanning process can take much longer than the standard scanning method, and may involve combining multiple scans and infra-red scans*

*If there is debris or scratches on the negatives, infra-red scanning may help detect and digitally remove or subdue the artifacts. Infra-red scanning cannot be applied to most types of black and white film or certain slide film as the silver retention in the emulsion prevents the infra-red scan from discerning contamination from the actual layers that represent the photograph.

Sheet Film Scanning

• If you've gone to the trouble of shooting and developing sheet film negatives, you may as well continue your high standards when they are digitised. Standard resolution for sheet negatives is 2400 pixels per inch. Combined with the size of the negative, this gives you an extremely large image.
• High resolution scans are scanned at 4800 pixels per inch. You may wish to have such a high resolution scan for archival purposes. The high resolution scanning can take much longer than the standard scanning method, and may involve combining multiple scans and infra-red scans*

*If there is debris or scratches on the negatives, infra-red scanning may help detect and digitally remove or subdue the artifacts. Infra-red scanning cannot be applied to most types of black and white film or certain slide film as the silver retention in the emulsion prevents the infra-red scan from discerning contamination from the actual layers that represent the photograph.

Disc Film Scanning

• Standard resolution for disc film negatives is 4800 pixels per inch.
• High resolution scans are 6400 pixels per inch.

Photograph Scanning - Sizes up to 8x12 inch

• Standard resolution for photograph prints is 600 pixels per inch.
• High resolution scans are 1200 pixels per inch.

Large Print & Poster Scanning

• Standard resolution for large print or poster scans is 400 pixels per inch.
• High resolution scans are 800 pixels per inch.
