Print and Video Ready ¹


Note 1 : Print and Video Ready assurance can only be achieved if slides/negatives are in relatively good condition. Both our Silver and Gold services apply color and fade restoration when required, but in some extreme cases where the dyes in the film have faded too far, even the best digital enhancement will fail to fully recover the original scene.   Mold and Mildew can also present problems.

ADVISORY

Larsen Digital will never send your film to another country for scanning.

When searching for a reputable company to transfer and preserve your irreplaceable memories make sure that they won't be sending your film to another country to take advantage of cheap labor rates.

Several relatively new film scanning companies have popped up overnight which are sending the film to India, Costa Rica, and other countries to have the work done. This practice explains the "too good to be true" pricing. It's bad enough that they are doing this with their customer's priceless memories, but the fact that they are not even up front with their customers about this practice is disgusting in our opinion.

Our Superior Equipment
 
We use the finest film scanners on the market today for professional use -- Nikon's Super Coolscan 5000 ED slide scanner offers 4,000 dpi true optical resolution, for superior-quality digital images. Furthermore, the Super Coolscan scanners feature industry-leading scanning speeds that translate into lower costs for our customers. Our scanners have high end components such as:

Nikkor ED lens - The single most important element in the production of high-quality scans is the lens. Nikon has incorporated lenses of the highest quality in each film scanner. ED (Extra-low Dispersion) lens elements are far superior in edge-to-edge sharpness, definition and contrast, as well as color registration, saturation and accuracy.

Low-heat, high-accuracy LED light source - Most scanners use halogen or fluorescent lamps as light sources, but they require time to warm up and the heat they generate can cause damage to film. Our Nikon scanners are the only scanners to employ LEDs as the source of light. LEDs are a stable, precise light source, which require no maintenance or warm-up time and present no risk of your film being damaged.

Digital ICE4 Advanced - Nikon's ED glass and LED lighting help to optimize the effectiveness of Digital ICE4 Advanced components, making Nikon Coolscan scanners and ICE a perfect match.

Nikon color Management System (CMS) - Nikon CMS provides consistently accurate reproduction of image data on monitors and in printouts.
