High Quality 35 mm Slide and Film Scanning Service

 

 

We scan and transfer your 35mm slides and negatives to CD or DVD. Our customers are looking for the highest quality, so all scans are individually processed and 'hand-finished' to ensure consistently outstanding results for every slide.

Using professional-level Nikon film scanners we deliver results that are far superior to those than can be achieved with consumer-level equipment - and we can process very large numbers of slides,  saving you months if not years of project time.

Because we do not use batch scanning methods we are able to offer a guarantee for every slide - if any scanned image does not meet your expectations for any reason we will correct it or refund the cost.

or call us on 01494 511247 to discuss any questions you may have.

We strongly recommend that you use a tracked service such as Royal Mail Special Delivery (or arrange to deliver the slides in person).  Please include your phone number or email address - we will use those to confirm safe arrival and check that we've understood your instructions.

 

 

How to Prepare your Slides or Negatives:

Cleaning:

It is not necessary to clean slides / negatives if they only carry small specks of dust, but if they are especially dirty you may wish to clean excessive dirt from the surfaces before sending them to us as we will not physically clean them ourselves.

Sorting:

We will scan your slides in the sequence in which they are stored in trays or plastic filing sheets. 

Please organise all your slides in landscape (horizontal) format as this is how they will be scanned, i.e. place vertical shots on their side.

Negatives must be in strips of between 2 and 6, and we will scan only those you specify.

Packing: We recommend that your slides or negatives are sent securely packed in boxes or other rigid packaging.
