120/220 Film Scanning

What this service covers

We scan unmounted black and white, colour and transparencies in various sizes including 6 x 4.5cm, 6 x 6cm, 6 x 7cm, 6 x 8cm, 6 x 9cm and 6 x 12cm. All medium format items are scanned individually by hand at a resolution of 3200dpi.

Mounted film

It is common for 6 x 6cm film to be mounted in plastic, card or heavy glass frames. Our medium format scanners will only accept unmounted film, either singular or in strips of up to three frames. Therefore all mounted medium format film will have to be removed from the frame prior to scanning. You can either do this yourself, or we can do this for you.

Selected Frames

If you only require some of the frames on a strip scanned then simply let us know which frames to scan using the frame number on the film strip. Alternatively, if the films are held in transparent plastic sleeves you could make the identification on the sleeve. Please ensure the frames are clearly identified. Please do not mark the strips themselves.

Cleaned before scanning

Each strip is blown clean with filtered compressed air and then brushed before scanning. Infrared is used on colour films during scanning to detect and remove any remaining defects. Infrared detection is not available on Black and White film, therefore any defects on the film are likely to be seen on the final scanned image.

The prices are per frame not strip.
