High Resolution Drum
Scanning
The superb quality of images captured on a drum scanner makes
this type of scan a must for reproduction on printed pages as
well as large format prints. At Digital graphic Productions
we utilize a DS608 drum scanner. This device accepts originals
up to 18" x 24" and is capable of scans direct to
film as large as 19" x 25
There are vast technological differences between CCD (flatbed)
, and PMT (drum, photomultiplier) scanners. Therefore, scans
from the drum scanner should be requested according to the final
output screen resolution (ie. 150-line screen), rather than
specifying an input scan resoulution (ie., 1200 dpi). The resultant
file will be saved with sufficient data to support the image
size you requested at the screen ruling you specified.
This kind of high end scanning will allow you to see the dimples
on a golf ball (yes, a customer actually asked for this -- and
we delivered), or read the numbers on individual chips on a
computer motherboard (this, too, was asked for and delivered).
Film
Output
At the heart of our print publishing production department
is quality film production. Our film plotters are capable
of producing film positives/negatives up to 31" x 43".
This flexibility allows us to produce film small enough for
business cards and large enough for a full eight-page printer
imposition.
Image setters are used to produce printing quality negatives
from a computer file (think of them as super complicated printers).
Printing done from these negatives tends to be crisper and
cleaner than printing done from traditional camera ready art,
because this method eliminates several steps from the printing
process. Image setting is also much less expensive than separations
done from camera ready art.
