AMS Announcements
New ICG 380 Drum Scanning Service
The Advanced Media Studio has introduced high-end drum scanning into our suite of professional services. The new AMS Drum Scanning Service features the ICG 380 vertical drum scanner, offering the highest quality, lowest noise, scans of film and reflective artwork up to 12.6 x 18.7 inches, at resolutions up to 12,000 dpi.
The ICG 380 drum scanner uses three precision photomultipliers to create the sharpest and finest scans available from any drum scanner. Additionally, the external drum of the ICG 380 allows for oil mounting of film originals, further improving scan quality and removing surface imperfections.
Equipment Upgrades
The Self-Service 848 Imacon scanner has been upgraded to the new Hasselblad Imacon Flextight X5, which is the top model in the Flextight scanner series. The Flextight X5 offers a 3x8000 Kodak CCD optical sensor, Rodenstock lens, and combination light condensor and FlexTouch dust removal features. The X5 can additionally scan up to 300 MB per minute.
The AMS High-Definition Self-Service Workstation offers a quad monitor configuration for an optimum display resolution of 5120 x 3200, over 16 million pixels, and Wacom Cintiq 12WX interactive pen display for direct pen-on-screen editing of high-resolution images, scientific and 3D software data.
The Self-Service Workstation printers have been upgraded to the new Epson Stylus Pro 4880 printer series featuring 16-bit print capability with the new higher gamut UltraChrome K3 Vivid magenta inks. Please see our 4880 printer guides for an updated list of supported papers.
All AMS Self-Service Worksations are restricted to the greater AMS hours only and require an AMS staff log-in for access. These stations are available for reservation during off-hours for general file processing.
