AMS Services
Wide-Format Archival Print Service
Museum-quality fine art digital printmaking offered through the AMS Epson Stylus Pro 9880 and 9900 printer suite, using Epson Ultrachrome K3™ and Epson Ultrachrome K3™ High Dynamic Range HDR pigment-based ink systems. The AMS Print Service offers an extensive repertoire of archival 44-inch premium photo grade and fine art paper stocks.
Scanning Service
The AMS Scanning Service offers two pricing options for fine art digital scanning.
For high-fidelity scans, the ICG 380 vertical drum scanner offers the highest quality and lowest noise scans of film and reflective artwork up to 12.6 x18.7", at resolutions up to 12,000 dpi. The ICG 380 uses three precision photomultipliers to create the sharpest and finest scans available from any drum scanner. The external drum of the ICG 380 allows for oil mounting of film originals, further improving scan quality and removing surface imperfections. The Hasselblad Flextight 949 and X5 Imacon suite scanners offer exceptional film scans up to 4"x5" inches, at resolutions of 8,000 dpi, with a CCD optical sensor for a virtual drum.
Laser Service
The Universal PLS6.120D Laser System cuts and etches a variety of materials from digital plan files. A fine laser beam and highly accurate X/Y plotter mechanism achieves highly detailed cuts and etchings across an 18"x32" laser bed. Please refer to the Laser Service Guide for the full list of AMS approved materials.
