  Our Scanners

   We are upfront an honest about the scanners that we use we have nothing to hide, why not ask our competitors what scanners they are using, most will either refuse to let you know or tell you that they use the DIY home scanners for the likes of Nikon or Canon, these are low volume scanners built for the domestic market not the professional market. If a competitor of ours claim to use the domestic range of scanners then avoid at all costs these scanners can damage your precious films or slides, we know as we have tested some of them in the past and sent them back for refunds.

  Our professional scanners are as below:

  	Kodak Professional HR500   The world's fastest high-resolution scanner Kodak scientists have perfected breakthrough 'Digital ICE' technology which can correct blemishes and other defects found on negatives - creating digital image files actually superior to the original film. The HR 500 Plus Film Scanner is seriously clever. Digital ICE technology automatically removes surface defects, like dust, from a scanned image   Value in excess of £35,000
  	Pakon F series Plus - 5 x High Resolution Scanners - (Now Kodak owned) The F-Series is a high quality Film Scanner for 35mm (negative, positive, or B&W) or APS. The F-Series scans rolls up to forty images, as well as strips down to two frames. The scanner automatically reads the DX code from 35mm film. Built-in DX code reading means correct frame numbering. Low maintenance via automatic calibration and diagnostics. Cleaning brushes remove static and dust before film is scanned. Digital ICE Technology accurately identifies any other surface defects on film and automatically removes them during scanning processes. Scanning capabilities at multiple resolutions gives the F-Series the flexibility to meet the most demanding output requirements. The patented high-speed scanning technology and efficient work flow management software (one scan equals unlimited outputs) make the F-Series Plus an excellent choice! Value in excess of £9,000 each
  We also use scanners from  Reflecta and Epson for various different sized film, these are all professional scanners to get the best result.
  Please note: We do not use home domestic scanners such as the Nikon coolscan range of scanners, these scanner used by many of our competitors are inferior low quality scanners and are not professional enough for us at Mr Scan.

• Finally you could always buy your own scanner, good ones are not cheap, with scanners you get what you pay for, then of course you may have a steep learning curve of how to scan you films correctly, its not as simple as putting you film in the scanner and pressing a button. and then finally its the time it will take, many high street scanners scan for example up to 40 images an hour, our scanners can scan 640 images and hour - and that's each scanner!

We are an Eco Friendly company, we cut down on waste and recycle where ever possible.

We want to stand out from the crowd, we want to be different and most of all we want to give you a service you will want again and again.
