Free
Standard Scanning with Print orders up to 8.5 x 11 or for Negatives
We use Epson photo scanners for slides, negatives, or up to 8.5 x 11" originals
and photographs. We do this free of charge with a print
production order. Once the image is scanned we will use the scanned
image to produce a high quality print.
Large Format
Traditional methods entail photographing a work so that
when you are producing a print you are making a copy of a copy. With our
methods we eliminate that first copy stage therefore you are getting an original
reproduction
or first generation copy. Since most printing companies now use digital formats
to make their prints each print produced will be a copy of the original and
ready for production. We scan prints and posters up to 36 x
60".
Scanned work is saved to at least 300 DPI in a digital file format such as
Tif or
JPEG. Your work is then saved to a CD so that have access to a first generation
copy at all times. Additional image editing andenhancements can be requested
at an additional cost.
Photographing Artwork
Artwork can be photographed using hi-res digital cameras. The advantage of
hi-res digital scanning is that each production from the image file that is
gnerated becomes a first generation copy. The artwork can be photographed while
still in the frame and the digital image can be easily adjusted to increase
color depth, contrast or brightness levels.
Vanguard Pixilation System (VPS)
VPS is a proprietary advanced scanning method developed by Omni Visions,
our parent. VPS is most suitable for art and photos 11 x 14” to 36
x 36”.
The method was developed by artists concerned with the limitations of current
flatbed scanners. The process is conducted by a professional graphic artist
with expertise in digital imaging. Our current VPS method can be render
a digital file up to 2400 ppi, however, due to the limitations of most computers
and storage medias, we provide this service at 300 ppi which is ideal for
professional
quality prints. Right now we do not provide in-depth details on the procedure
due to plans to patent the system.
