The major improvements in the Nikon 5000 ED compared to older Nikon scanners are faster scan times, a broader dynamic range, a higher bit-depth, and the image enhancement technology of Digital ICE4.

Digital ROC™ automatically rebuilds and restores deteriorated color values for faithfully rendered images. Digital GEM™ reduces the effects of film grain, producing sharp, clear images without clumping or graininess. The newly added Digital DEE™ uses exposure compensation to help reveal details that may be hidden in shadowy or highlighted portions of scenes.

The 5000 is fast and produces suburb consistant results. We are currently scanning more than 80,000 pictures a month with the help of Nikon scanners.

Since the Nikon Super Coolscan is faster than other scanners, we are able to offer you extremely low scanning prices, faster turnaround times, and the highest possible quality (other than expensive and time consuming drum scans).

For unmounted 110 film and medium format film we use Nikon Super Coolscan 9000 ED professional grade film scanners. This model is very similar to the 5000 except that it's designed for larger film types. Again, this scanner does an excellent job.

For prints and 4x5 inch film we are using Epson Perfection 4990 Pro scanners. This is the latest professional scanner from Epson and has received excellent reviews by professional trade magazines as well as users. We fully agree and have just replaced the older Epson 3200 and Epson 4270 scanners with the Epson 4990. It offers Digital ICE technology, which helps remove dust and scratches from the pictures.

If offers resolution of 4800 dpi as well as even higher optical scan resolutions.

We use this scanner for prints, 120/220 film and 35mm negative strips and dias where the clients wants a resolution of less than 2500 DPI.
