Overview
Pro Scanning utilizes Hasselblad medium-format cameras to capture 50 or 100-megapixel files with full 16-bit precision. Leveraging Hasselblad Natural Color Science for accurate hues, this method delivers high DPI resolution, making it the ideal choice for smaller formats like 35mm.
Max Scanning uses the Hasselblad FlexTight X5 to produce consistent results up to 8000 dpi. Its virtual drum design eliminates Newton rings while extracting 4.9 Dmax of dynamic range. This process ensures rich shadow detail, uniform color, and exceptional microcontrast in 16-bit TIFFs.
Ultra Scanning on the Heidelberg Primescan D 7100 delivers 11,000 dpi resolution. Manual fluid mounting heals scratches and removes dust, while Photo Multiplier Tubes capture unmatched tonal depth. This workflow yields multi-gigabyte files ideal for museum-grade archival reproduction.
