MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
We have a few posters (not copywrited) which we want to be scanned and printed for re-sale in low numbers.
One is 100x70 (cm) the other is 70x300 (cm).
Can anyone recommend someone who can scan and possible clean-up (imprefections, electronically) such things?
Usually much less hassle to photograph rather than scan large things like that - that's what I do.
Where are you based Moe?
The trouble with scanning something that is printed, whatever the size, is that you pick up a [url= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moir%C3%A9_pattern ]moire[/url] from the original CMYK separations. I seriously doubt you'll get a good enough result to produce a sale-able print
Based in the Midlands. How do people reproduce prints of old posters normally?
Most reproductions are done from original source files.
Have a Google search for your nearest professional digital reprographics house Moe. They'd be able to advise you on the best way to go about it
Plenty of software available to reduce/eliminate moire effects.
As Bencooper, if it were me and I wanted a good quality reproduction, I'd have the source Plan Photographed.
Try John E Wrights, based in Nottingham.
OK thanks for the advice, can you recommend anyone who does open source photography?
What sort of photography?
