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 even old 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 600dpi and 6400dpi), using state of the art scanners we will change the format to very high resolution images (either jpg, pdf or another format of your choice), which we can put onto a DVD or USB for you - see prices at the foot of this section.  Or we can email or send via a secure file sharer programme e.g. WeTransfer, so that they can then be downloaded to your computer.  Once in this format, they can be stored safely, shared and printed.

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 and our state of the art Perfection Epson scanner includes a resolution of 6400 DPI and 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 4000dpi
• 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
50+ :	60p
100+ :	55p

35mm Film Strips/Rolls

Colour and monochrome.

Taking scans of film/negatives generally require a lot more work than photo or slide scans so we charge one fixed price for colour or black and white negatives. 

 

35mm negatives or film strips (colour of monochrome) = 70p per image

 

We will discuss discounts for larger quantities.

 

OUR PROCESSES:

* 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 images for the price quoted)

 

Important notes for Negatives/film strips:

• We do not scan parts of film strips, each strip must be scanned in full. - Single images can be scanned but not using our bulk system (2 images minimum). Single cut images are scanned on different scanners which require more time so are charged higher per image. Please call to discuss single images.
• 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 mean we scan every image you send - sending us a list of images numbers to be scanned will greatly increase the time we spend on scanning and we will need to charge extra for this. We suggest you cut up the strips if need be to try and avoid sending in images which don't need scanning.
  
•  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 many influences that can change 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. We will cross reference folder names as best we can.
  
•  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, we use air blowers to remove surface dust but if the slides are dirty or sticky we can not 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.

 

 Please ask prices for other film prices, e.g. Instamatic and large format film
