ARCHIVAL OBJECTS
It is essential to maintain the condition of an object, irrespective of its age and physical state, to ensure its preservation for posterity. In particular, unique items, sensitive media, and those already in degraded condition require special handling and a cautious imaging workflow to ensure that they are archived correctly and can be safely stored back again. We offer a flawless balance between precision and efficiency, providing cautious handling and exceptional attention to detail and color accuracy for even the most delicate manuscripts and documents, ensuring that our clients’ objects are digitized with utmost precision and safely stored for future generations.
UP TO 150 MEGAPIXEL SINGLE SHOTS:
Our team employs the latest 150-megapixel medium-format camera systems, coupled with the best optics to produce the most precise and accurate reproductions of documents with a single shot. In addition, we utilize technical cameras to provide even greater flexibility and efficiency in generating precise single-shot reproductions. Our approach enables us to produce high-quality and accurate representations of legal and official records.
GIGAPIXEL PANORAMIC SHOTS:
We use two methods to execute gigapixel panoramic shots of items regardless of their size: employing technical cameras that shift the view of the image sensor, or using a conventional camera and shifting the document in front of it. Images are then processed through various software for color grading and stitching to produce the gigapixel final image that is pixel-sharp and color-accurate. Gigapixel reproductions allow the viewer to perceive excessive amounts of characteristics in larger sheets and unseen details in smaller documents.

UP TO 10:1 REPRODUCTION RATIO:
After extensive experimentation and research, our team has discovered an advanced medium-format optical solution that enables us to achieve reproduction ratios exceeding 1:1. This solution involves the implementation of a motorized stacking rail in combination with microscopic objectives. By utilizing this innovative approach, we are able to attain reproduction ratios of up to 10:1, which is particularly useful for reproducing minute details in documents and papers.
PROFESSIONAL COLOR MANAGEMENT:
Our post-processing procedure in the studio is executed according to industry standards. It includes color grading for accurate hues and shades of color and retouching techniques all using color-calibrated displays. Our team strives for excellence and accuracy, therefore, calibrating the camera with industry-standard color charts, capturing a neutral gray card for white balance, and performing lens calibration for distortion, color cast, and vignetting is vital for each session.

POSTAL STAMPS TO LARGE-SCALE SUPPORT:
Our team has developed a high degree of expertise in the art of reproduction of documents regardless of their size or material. Our workflow for smaller records typically includes the implementation of focus bracketing and stacking techniques. The images are then batch-processed and stitched together using industry-leading software. Large documents and items are captured through panoramic shots using either a technical camera or a conventional one. Our team is trained to execute these techniques with precision and care, ensuring that the final image is an accurate and faithful reproduction of the original document.
