Fabric & Artwork Digitisation to High Quality TIFF Outputs in Oxford

We are currently working with a well-known UK fabric company preparing digital files from their range of materials for online presence and resale.  

Not all scanners are ideal for this type of order due to colour and precision capture.  Our Quattro X though, is perfect for this type of project, and any professionals who require a high-quality scanner with excellent scan performances.

 

HIGH QUALITY SCANS AND COPIES

Our scanner excels by using 48-bit technology.  This means we can capture every detail from fabrics, rare maps, oversize pages and documents to engineer plans in full colour or greyscale outputs.  The digitised media then passes the best 24-bits through at up to 1200dpi optical resolution to produce the highest quality outputs of your media.  

Our CleanScan CIS modules also help remove shadows created by creases and folds, which makes this the ideal scanner for our client and other professionals who require precision scanning.


SCANNING FASTER IN GREATER DETAIL

We use the latest generation of CIS scanners from Contex, which incorporates technology to match our clients’ requirements for ever higher quality images, faster scan speeds and unrivalled output in all file formats as follows:


FILE FORMATS

TIFF, JPEG, PDF, DWF, CALS, BMP, JPEG2000(JP2), JPEG2000 Extended (JPX), TIFF-G3, TIFF-G4 and most other formats.

The Repair Shop - How To Spot A Ferrotype Camera 1855-1940s

After watching The Repair Shop on BBC1 restore a beautiful and rather rare ferrotype camera I thought a blog on the process would be interesting. Not only did they repair but they managed to have the camera working, taking photographs. This was very inspirational given the age of the camera. ABOUT FERROTYPE PROCESS Ferrotypes first appeared in America in the 1850s, but didn’t become popular in Britain until the 1870s. They were still being made by while-you-wait street photographers as late as the 1950s. The ferrotype process was a variation of the collodion positive, and used a similar process to  wet plate photography . A very underexposed negative image was produced on a thin iron plate. It was blackened by painting, lacquering or enamelling, and coated with a collodion photographic emulsion. The dark background gave the resulting image the appearance of a positive. Unlike collodion positives, ferrotypes did not need mounting in a case to produce a positi...

Onion Skin Archive Book Scanning - What is this and how do we process the pages?

CURRENT BOOK SCANNNING PROJECT.  We are currently working on a very large archive of old books that require HQ scanning to Archival TIFF images.  Once processed, these images will be prepared to PDF with OCR (optical character recognition) for a complete searchable output.   The difficulty in this order, is the books are prepared using a medium called Onion Skin Paper. Whilst we are very confident in preparing this type of medium, it is very important to be aware that there are risks with scanning, given the sometimes-fragile nature of the paper.   Tears and rips can occur, so a very gentle white glove approach is required. Equally, with the nature of onion skin, the paper is very translucent which requires a sheet of white paper to be placed under each page before scanning. This then grants a very good HQ image that we can work with.   WHAT IS ONION SKIN PAPER? Onion skin paper is a type of very light weight, almost translucent paper that ...

Vellum Document Deed Scanning in Oxfordshire

One of our most interesting orders came in today in the form of a vellum property deed dating back nearly 200 years. We were asked to prepare a digital copy so our client could preserve the original. After assessment we decided on which scanner to use and scanned the deed to a high quality Archival TIFF file before applying post production tone and sharpening. The results were stunning and a wonderful image produced. Interesting fact:  To ensure you could prove a duplicate copy, some deeds had a defined curved wave cut out at the top. This meant the original's replica could be matched 100% to the original, safeguarding fraud. What is vellum? Vellum is prepared  animal skin or "membrane", typically used as  a material for writing or printing on, to produce single pages, scrolls,  codices  or books. The word is derived from the  Latin  word  vitulinum  meaning "made from calf". Typically deeds are folded and stored. Alth...
