For those that view my blog and who un aware I own my own Imacon Flextight Drum scanner and all the slide film images on my web site is scanned with this scanner.
Anyway….
I offer my drum scanning service to other photographers and I scan work for quite a few already. My scanner can scan anything up to 6×17 but not 5×4. I have scanning plates for all formats including Xpan.
Here is some feedback from a customer who I did some scans for recently who had been using another company based in Melbourne who scans with an Imacon.

“Hi Matt,
I have been going through the scans and I’m really happy with them. They are a lot truer to the original trannies than the (company name removed) scans had done. Some of the scans (company name removed) did were so far removed in tone and colour from the originals it took me literally hours (days) and multiple tries to get them back to normal. Your scans seem to take a few minutes to have them looking true…. “

There is nothing worse than getting a bad scan and that’s what prompted me to buy my own scanner in the first place to keep the quality at a high level and to save time correcting bad scans.

Hi,
Could you let me know how much your scanning would be? Also which Imacon do you use?
Ideally the max size print will be up to 90×30 inches from a 6×17 slide?
I’m in the Uk.
Thanks
Jon

The drum scanner is recording 100% of the possible information, in proportional balance and at a very high quality. Its data capture allows the artist the most flexibility to decide to put more detail into the shadows.
Hello, I have a tranceparency of a picture and I want it to be printed onto photo paper to be able to have it framed. Would you be able to scan this?
Regards,
Gwen
Hi Gwen, no we can only scan film. if your able to get a digital copy of it maybe off a flatbed scanner then we would be able to print it for you.
