Booksmart Studio offers scanning of 35mm, Medium Format, and Large Format film.  We can even scan a 8x10 chrome or negative!  Your file will be uploaded to a server and a link will be sent to you for download.  If you would like a cd or dvd made and mailed to you please include a self addressed stamped envelope with blank cd or dvd and case to us along with the following.

Please follow this link to get your scans:

The Hasselblad Flextight Precision III offers a maximum true optical resolution of 6300dpi.  Booksmart Studio can scan a 35mm landscape transparency at, for example, 5000dpi, while a 6x4.5cm portrait original could be scanned at 4500dpi. 

Like the other Flextight scanners the Precision III incorporates the unique Flextight magnetic original holder design, which eliminates the need for mounting originals on glass. Thus, there is no need for gel or tape, and the operator does not have to clean each transparency after scanning.

As the magnetic holder retracts automatically into the scanner it is fed around a virtual drum, which creates a perfectly flat surface directly underneath the CCD.  Scanning the surface of the original without the use of glass removes the danger of Newton Rings or moir, as well as color flare and registration errors.

The Precision III handles positive or negative originals from 35mm to 12x17cm, as well as reflective copy up to 220x310mm including color, line-art and gray scale work. Imacon say its ability to pick out minute detail and its sharpness help to make it the best negative scanner on the market today. The unique design eliminates complicated moving optics and results in an extremely compact scanner.  An external power supply removes the possibility of electrical noise caused by heat or electronics.

Hahnemuhle USA, North American distributor of high-quality digital art media from Hahnemuhle FineArt GmbH, has just unveiled a premium quality, canvas print wrapping system called Gallerie Wrap. Gallerie Wrap is a complete system of easy-to-use fastening components and stretching frames to accommodate most popular imaging formats. It requires no special tools and, with a little practice, allows artists and photographers to produce professional quality gallery wraps in minutes.

 

Gallery wraps are images printed on a quality canvas digital medium, such as Hahnemuhle Daguerre Canvas 400gsm or Monet Canvas 410gsm, then stretched and mounted to a frame with the image wrapped around the edges. In recent years, this type of presentation has become extremely popular because of the artistic look it lends to almost any image.

 

Booksmart Studio currently offers BF Inkjet Canvas, Magiclee by Intelicoat, Canson Infinity, Fredrix, & Hahnemuhle canvas in our on-line store.

 

Traditionally, to obtain the gallery wrap look you would have had to outsource this work to your local frame shop. With the new Hahnemuhle Gallerie Wrap System, however, you can make the canvas print, stretch and fasten it to the frame yourself, at home, in about 5 minutes!
Hahnemuhle Gallerie Wrap stretching frames are available in two sizes. The Standard Stretching Bars offer a frame depth of 1 ¼” tall, and the depth of the PRO Stretcher Bars is 1 ¾”. There will be a total of 17 bar lengths that produce all common size frames and more; so that you can tailor the frame size to suit your requirements.

 

 

The Standard version is offered in the following lengths: 8”, 10”, 11”, 12”, 14”, 16”, 18”, 20” and 24”.

 

 

The Pro version offers the following lengths: 20”, 24”, 30”, 32”, 36”, 40”, 48” and 60”.

Kayell Australia, in association with Booksmart Studio, is pleased to announce the addition of Booksmart Studio inkjet printable Fine Art Metals series into our line of fine art digital imaging materials. These Fine Art Metals are comprised of aluminum and gold coated with a inkjet receptive coating and provide clear, crisp images with a beautifully luminous background. The Fine Art Metals provide digital artists with a unique substrate allowing them to incorporate new and exciting elements into their work.



The Fine Art Metals series is available in thicknesses of 0.30mm, 0.40mm, and 0.51mm and sheet sizes of A4, A3, A3+, 17" x 22", 20" x 24", and 20" x 36". Additional sheet sizes of 20" x 40", 20" x 60" and 20" x 80" are available as special order items. Adhesive backing is included to simplify the mounting process and is optional on certain sizes. 



The Fine Art Metals are available in aluminum, with Brushed Silver, Matte Silver, Satin Silver, and Satin White finishes and in gold, with a Satin Gold Finish. A Fine Art Metals sampler set is available containing five sheets of 1.3mm thick material in Matte Silver, Satin Silver, Satin Gold, Satin White and Brushed Silver, all with adhesive backing. After printing, the Fine Art Metals require top coating with a inkjet varnish to protect the inkjet receptive coating.


Printers having a "straight through" substrate path can be used with the 1.3mm, 3.0mm, and 4.0mm thicknesses ( All Epson Wide Format Printers ). Printers incorporating a "J-curve" substrate path are limited to the 0.30mm thick material. Before printing, check to ensure that the metal will feed through the printer by loading a sheet.
