Digital Ice technology is standard for all slide scan projects!

About Digital Ice:

The ICE technology works from within the scanner, so unlike the software-only solutions it does not alter any underlying details of the image. Subsequent to the original "Digital Ice" technology which used infrared cleaning, additional image enhancement technologies were marketed by Applied Science Fiction and Kodak under similar and related names, often as part of a suite of compatible technologies. The ICE technology uses a scanner with a pair of light sources, a normal RGB lamp and an IR lamp, and scans twice, once with each lamp. The IR lamp detects the dust locations with its unique detection method and then inpainting is applied based on this data afterwards. The general concept is to subtract the position of scratches and dust from the RGB image.

We have a number of scanning stations, but it still takes each scanner approximately 10 minutes to scan 1 slide at 4000DPI using Digital Ice technology. Our rates include Digital Ice, because the vastly superior image achieved isn't worth saving time over. If you are in a rush for your slides to be scanned, 2DVD.ca won't be able to provide you with a service to your liking.
