Firstcall Transfer 36 digital images back to 35mm film

Product Description

Email rodneybates1@gmail.com

In an ideal world, you would be able to take a digital image and print it in the darkroom, thereby getting total creativity in a way that a digital printer is not capable.

Well, now that option is available, at prices never before possible, due to our investment that makes the dream a reality. Mixing digital and film images for printing in your darkroom is now both accessible and available.

The process focuses on a high-technology CCG Film Recorder we purchased, and the idea couldn't be more straightforward. Just send us (up to 36) of your digital images in TIFF or JPEG format on a CD, they can be black and white or in colour, and we will record them onto Ilford film for you and then return the film and CD by return post.

The film recording of digital imaging is done by a precise set of lasers (3 passes) to a standard equal to that of the film's resolution. In other words, it is like copying digital images onto film at full 35mm resolution.

The reasons for launching this new service should also help the education world considerably.

Cost saving is the most obvious. Assuming a digital A3 inkjet print costs around £5 to print when you cost inks and paper and outsourcing printing on RA4 using a Fuji Frontier will cost about £6. Normal processing of a black and white 12 x 16 print costs you only about £0.90 (Kentmere paper and Fotospeed chemicals) so the COST SAVING IS THEREFORE AT LEAST 80% when compared to digital printing.

Other advantages include

• Allows you to mix digital and film-based images with ordinary printing.
• It makes no difference if you shoot in colour or monochrome. With digital, you can convert colour to B&W easily.
• Decreases the concern about the falling number of film-based SLR cameras available.
• You only need to send the best images for converting, so there's no waste compared to straight film.
• It is easy to combine and archive work into one film.
• Most work remains in-house, so you retain 100% control over your images.
• The service future-proofs a photographic department to carry on using the equipment and processes it is used to.
