Document, Photo, Slide and film Digitisation

 

Document, Photo, Slide and Film Scanning, Restoration & Printing

 We all have collections of old family photos, documents, slides and film, which could be many years old and are often in a sorry state. Printed memories could be all we have left of family members and friends and once they start to deteriorate it could be too late to save them. Bring them into TechnoVisual and we will take high quality scans (between 600 and 9800 dpi), using state of the art scanners to digitise and preserve these memories. We will change the format of your images to high resolution images (either jpg or pdf), which we can put onto a DVD or USB for you, or we can email a link, which you can simply click on and download to your computer. Once in this format, they can be stored safely, shared and printed.

YOUR IMAGES SAVED TO DVD - we charge £3.50 no vat for a high quality DVD with a professionally printed label in black print.  If you would prefer a full colour print the cost is £4.50 no vat per DVD.

YOUR IMAGES SAVED TO A USB -  we have many sizes in stock, here are our prices:

2GB USB at an extra cost of £6.00 each (no vat)

4GB USB at an extra cost of £8.00 each (no vat) 

8GB USB at an extra cost of £10.00 each (no vat)

16GB USB at an extra cost of £12.50 each (no vat)

32GB USB at an extra cost of £15.00 each (no vat)

64GB USB at an extra cost of £18.00 each (no vat)

128GB USB at an extra cost of £24.00 each (no vat)

Please don't compare us to other companies which make copies for you on standard scanners, the outcome of the slides particularly is never satisfactory.  Our state of the art Perfection Epson scanners capable of scanning up to a resolution of 6400 x 9600 dpi also include advanced DIGITAL ICE technology, giving us the ability to enhance your slides, negatives and photos mid-scan.

35mm Slides

Regular 35mm : Super 35mm : half frame : 126 slides : 110 slides.

Regular Size Slides generally come in plastic or cardboard holders, 2" square (50mm x50mm) and the prices below are for this size slide. 

Other non standard slides can vary in size, e.g. the 110 size has a 1" surround and although the 120 slide has the standard 2" surround it has a large central viewing area and these can not be scanned by our 35mm machines.  We will quote for these separately should you have any.

OUR PROCESSES:

• We will start by sorting your images and then gently cleaning them using lint free cloths, air and brushes, we will try to keep to any obvious orders you give us, but because of our processes it isn't always possible and may mean we need to charge more if we have to work to lists
• Modern flatbed Xerox and Epson scanners are used with a minimum of 600dpi and a maxmum of 9800dpi
• Digital Ice Technology is used where we can to reduce noise, remove surface defects, restore, correct and boost colour and optimise contrast and exposure.
• Sending of the finished files can be done via email (usually a file sharer such as WeTransfer) or we can supply a CD or DVD or a USB stick, see prices below.

   

1+ :	70p per slide
50+ :	60p
100+ :	55p
200+ :	50p

• We will start by sorting your images and then gently cleaning them using lint free cloths, air and brushes
• Modern flatbed Epson scanners are used with a minimum of 600dpi and a maxmum of 9600dpi
• Digital Ice Technology is used where we can to reduce noise, remove surface defects, restore, correct and boost colour and optimise contrast and exposure.

* For an additional cost of £25 TechnoVisual can make your images into a slide show and put them onto a DVD for watching on your TV or computer.  With a customised cover these have proved very popular for gifts. (up to 25 images for the price quoted)

 

Important notes for Negatives/film strips:

 

• One Price - We scan Negatives, Positives and Monochrome 35mm negatives all at the same price and we charge per image not per strip, if you have large numbers please call and we may be able to offer a discount.
• Our processes - how we scan the images you require - Negatives come in strips of generally around 4 - 6 images and it is far easier for us to scan every image on every strip. However, we do appreciate that you may not want every image digitised and we are happy to omit the odd image if this is required. You can send or bring in a list of image numbers to be scanned and generally you will find numbers written for this purpose on the film edging.  However matching up numbers to those listed on the film is a long laborious process and we would always charge extra for this service. Alternatively, you could cut out just the images you require to be scanned, although we strongly advise that you avoid touching the surface of the film and either hold at the very edge of negative or use lint free gloves.  
•  Must be Processed - Your film must have been processed before we can scan it, we do not carry out dark room processing.
•  Image Order and Numbering- We will do all we can to stick to an obvious order, however there are influences that couldchange this e.g. different types/sizes may need to go through different scanners, some images may need to be scanned twice etc, so we advise that the best way to put images in a particular order is to rename/re-order the images in digital format when you receive them back from us. The scanning process will number each image in series and we will cross reference folder names if required.
  
•  Card Mounted Film -Please remove any stickers or mounts attached to the negatives - additional fees may need to be charged to remove these. Films should be in sleeves or loose.
•  Dirty Film - We avoid touching any film or negative images and use air blowers, lint free cloths and brushes to remove surface dust and dirt before scanning, but if the film is dirty or sticky we can not add liquid of any kind to remove this and it may be visible on the scans. We use top of the range scanners and 'Digital Ice' software to reduce the amount of dust/scratch marks on the digital image but we can not 100% guarantee that all marks will be removed.
