How large will my scanned files be?

As we say elsewhere on this site, bigger isn’t always better. We use an ICG Drum Scanner, one of the top scanners in the film industry. Each piece of film will yield only so much information, and it is this information that dictates file sizes,

All of our scans are done at 300ppi unless requested otherwise. This matches the highest print output resolution we and almost all other fine art printers use. This chart shows as an approximation of file size with ranges.

35mmxxxxx65MB (range of 40~90MB)
6×6/7cmxxx100MB (range of 70~190MB)
4x5inxxxxx 150MB (range of 90~300MB)

Image Adjustments

When we encounter a difficult images or a request to make alterations, it is likely that it will require extra time for us, and cost for you. When this happens, we will provide you with a cost estimate before proceeding with your order.

Billable in quarter hour increments:

$80.00 per hour, $20.00 minimum

Raw Scans

Fine Print produces high quality “raw scans” of your 2-D artwork with our 4×5 digital copy camera or your transparency film with our state-of-the-art ICG drum scanner. Raw scans are created for the photographer or artist who needs a high resolution file and wants to do their own color work. This service includes burning the raw scan to a CD or FTPing the file to you. It does not include any color work, dust/scratch removal or proof print. Click here to see a visual sample of what a raw scan provides.

Warning! The file from the raw scan will not appear “correctly” on a monitor or be ready to produce a print. The file needs to be adjusted by someone with proficiency in working with a color adjustment program such as Adobe Photoshop.
