    Drum Scanning in California

    I currently work with West Coast Imaging for my prints and they are awesome.

    They also do drum scanning, prices look to be fair.

    Does anyone work with a scanner that they recommend that are also affordable?

    I have 8 scans to be done for now (4x5 and 6x17), and at $80 for 600 mb, that is a lot of money.

    Would anyone recommend a tech that works on Imacon x1 or 5?

    The 4x5 need to be printed to 50" at 220 dpi minimum.

    I recommend Lenny Eiger for scanning. He is a member on the forum. He doesn't scan with an Imacon tho.

    gmed said wci's prices are too high so I don't think someone who charges much more is what he needs. Nothing against Lenny, I know he does great work.

    Re: Drum Scanning in California

    You will find a drum scan with a competent operator can far exceed what an Imacon can do. I have access to Imacons and still usually send my work to Lenny. I put a lot of work into files and it is (IMHO) poor economy for my labors to do all that work on anything but the best scan.
    Thanks,

    I did say that their prices are fair. I just have too many and it will add up. I thought I could find a cheaper alternative but looks like that is what they go for, if not more. Thank you all.

    I just looked up WCI's prices. They offer small scans at less than I do, but my rates at the normal size are half what they charge... and you get to archive the whole image..
