To me, practical conservation is a balance of display for enjoyment and basic precaution.

Use basic precaution when choosing a location within your home that does not place the print in the direct rays of sunshine day in and day out. A suitable spot in your home is an area that provides visual enjoyment, room enhancement, and indirect lighting particularly the sun.

To further protect your image, utilize the services of a trusted professional framer to assist you in the process of conservation. At Fine Imaging, we offer extensive custom framing options including Canvas Stretching, Gallery Wrap, Custom Frame Moulding, Matting and Mounting.

YES, We will except your media for printing. However, we reserve the right to reject any media for suitablitity with our equipment. For the best results, we recommend utilizing our custom color profiling services to gain reliable and reproduceable color.

Every image from David Fine of FINE IMAGING STUDIOS, Inc. is recorded on professional film emulsions with the very best cameras and lenses available today. Some images are recorded using 35mm while others are recorded on medium format type cameras. After the images are recorded to film, each roll of film is processed in a professional lab for optimal results. Final image selections are made after each image is scrutinized for content and quality. Each new selection is scanned on a high-resolution digital drum scanner at 4000dpi. This resolution allows for high-quality prints even at very large print sizes on our state of the art digital printer. After scanning, the images are brought into an imaging computer where they are color and tone corrected for final printing. The images are not retouched, but rather targeted for the Giclèe process of printing. Our photographic prints are Giclèe Prints (pronounced “Zhee-Clay”) that offer brilliant color, tonal range, and image quality that are highly archival with a life expectancy of more than 80 years if properly framed and protected. Each image printed is reproduced to one of several papers including watercolor, canvas and traditional photographic surfaces to enhance the image appearance. Finishing the image includes matting and framing with acid free materials that contain a buffer to protect the image for years to come.

Our Giclèe digital printers offer unprecedented quality, reliability, and consistency in reproduction that was previously unavailable for archival photographic reproduction. The archival properties of the Giclèe process offer better longevity than the most carefully printed silver halide prints.

Absolutely! We offer complete custom framing for all types of flat art. We have a wide choice of frame mouldings onsite with access to hundreds of custom mouldings to suit your needs.

We do not scan directly into CMYK color space because he native color space of all scanners is RGB. The best CMYK conversions from RGB files are made from carefully scanned RGB originals, and are converted according to the needs of the specific reproduction (targeting) being utilized. Additional charges and fees may apply for CMYK file conversions, adjustments and image enhancement. Please call for more information regarding our CMYK procedure.

Drum Scanning is the single best technology for digitizing either negative or positive images for enhancement on any computer system. At Fine Imaging, we use the Howtek line of scanners for optimal image quality, color fidelity, and resolution. We can scan any image positive or negative as small as 35mm and as large as 8" x 10" to provide a perfect digital original for output in any environment including Pre-Press (CMYK), Digital Posters, Outdoor-Indoor POP, Fine Art reproductions, and permanent image archives.

Oil mounting has long been accepted as the standard for adhering images either negative or transparent positives (slides) to the drum for superior scan results. Each image is mounted to the drum utilizing special tape and oil that will help to minimize scratches, film emulsion imperfections, and film grain. Upon completion of scanning, each image is cleaned and placed back in its original container. There is no permanent residue from oil mounting and absolutely no risk of damage to any film original.

The Howtek line of scanners offer the best in electronic imaging through superior image resolution, color capture and contrast. Each image is independently mounted, pre-scanned, evaluated for color, density, and overall tonal range by a photographer and digital imager.

• Our drum scanner records more optical resolution than the best flatbed scanner which translates into clean, sharp scans
• Our Scanner records 16bits / color which translates into more color information that is more accurate than the best flatbed scanner which translates into images with accurate colors that are true to the original.
• Our Scanner records a wider tonal range than the best flatbed scanner which translates into images containing more highlight to shadow detail and image information for post production editing.
• Our Color Work Flow is completely calibrated utilizing the best color profiling tools in the industry from input to output. We feature color solutions from Greytag-Macbeth to create and calibrate our color workflow system

In Short, Scans from Fine Imaging yield an image that will insure you look as good on paper as you do on film!

At Fine Imaging, we use a carefully calibrated system with custom color profiles to make certain that the best possible color is not only translated, but recorded to your electronic file.

You may request to have your files reduced to 8 bit. In addition, each image is oil mounted, individually scanned at optical resolution, color enhanced, dusted, and converted to the RGB work space of Adobe RGB 1998. Unless otherwise advised, we will make every effort to match your original image.
