New users: If you’re using our scanners for the first time, you’ll need to book a short induction (around 15 minutes) at the start of your session. Inductions run Tuesday–Friday, 11am–5pm, and must be arranged when you make your booking.

Returning users: Once you’ve completed your induction, you’ll get access to our scanner booking calendar to book sessions independently. If you’ve already done an induction but don’t have the booking link, please get in touch.

Our dedicated scanning room features an Imacon 949 Virtual Drum Scanner. This allows for black & white and colour scans from negatives with a maximum optical resolution of 8000ppi to capture the subtlest of details and exquisitely smooth tonal gradients with precise integrity.

Also available in our scanning room is an Epson 10000XL A3 Plus flat-bed scanner, suitable for scanning artwork up to A3. It is also suitable for film, making it an excellent choice for producing digital contact sheets.

The scanners are driven by a dual quad core MacPro, with the Adobe Creative Suite CS5, connected to a fully colour managed, calibrated Eizo screen.
