SLIDE SCANNING SERVICE

Spectrum has two types of slide digitizing. Use our Economy Slide Capture to digitize and record your slides to CD at just 50 cents per slide. Economy capture is available only at orders of 50 or more slides. This is a great way to preserve slide images and use the digital files to further make computer based slide shows and make small digital prints.

If you need the ultimate in print quality from the slides, Spectrum also offers the Pro Scan option. Using a very expensive scanning system, this is the best choice for sharp printing or detailed post scan cropping.At $1 per scan you get a 1200×1800 ppi file with basic color correction on a closed loop calibrated system. At $ 2 per scan you can get a 2400×3600 ppi scan.Once you have made digital files from your 2×2 35mm slides, you can make prints or rendered video movie slide shows from the files. These services are priced separately.

DIGITIZE YOUR PRINTS

Spectrum can offer high quality photo scanning suitable for enlargement reprinting or Bulk scanning suitable for on-screen viewing or small print making. 

For bulk scanning make sure that all prints are out of albums, not sticky, larger than a wallet size and no bigger than an 8×10. Also, make sure that they are not board mounted. If any prints can’t meet those standards, they can be done as a pro scan at the higher price. For bulk print scans there is a $20 minimum order.
