FILM PROCESSING & SCANNING
Film is still an important starting point for much of the work we produce this is why we believe that quality film processing and scanning are essential steps to creating quality prints.
We use the renowned Technolab Dip and Dunk processors for C41 Negative processing. Our processors are computer driven to monitor consistent trouble free processing and, unlike other systems, ‘dip and dunk’ processing means the film is suspended in the solution, not dragged through rollers, giving cleaner films without scratches.
Spectrum offer CCD scans on the latest
Imacon X5 scanner.
This enables us to produce scans in either 8 and 16 bit depth with a quality that now really does rival that of any drum scan. This new scanner handles all film formats up to 5x4. We recommend using the X5 particularly when scanning colour negatives as it can give a smoother scan than achievable with a drum scanner.
Our ICG369 Drum Scanner can scan individual
frames with a true optical resolution of up to 12000 dpi
The crisp edge to edge sharpness of drum scans allow us to make photographic prints of a quality almost indiscernible from optical prints, with the control and creativity that only digital can offer.

*16 bit scans allow for greater post scanning colour corrections than its 8 bit equivalent. File sizes are doubled due to the increased bit depth while the resolution remains the same. Please note: files will need to be re-saved as 8 bit when submitting for print as output devices do not support 16 bit files.
