About – YEG

YEG Drum Scan is a service which specializes in high resolution scanning of film negatives, positive prints and reflective images for the Edmonton area and greater Alberta region.

Why drum scan your negatives, positives and reflections? Through drum scanning your negatives, positives and reflections you attain:

  • Higher Resolution: Drum scanners can achieve resolutions exceeding 10,000 dpi, capturing fine details and textures that flatbed scanners often miss. YEG Drum Scan & Imaging uses the Dainippon DT-S1045AI Drum Scanner which resolves a maximum of 8,000 dpi of resolution.
  • Superior Tonal Range and Detail: Drum Scanners excel at reproducing subtle gradations in tone, especially in shadows and highlights, leading to a more dynamic and nuanced image. 
  • Color Accuracy: Drum scanners can accurately capture and reproduce a wider range of colors, resulting in more faithful color reproduction. 
  • Large Print Potential: The high resolution and detail captured by drum scans allow for the creation of large, high-quality prints without significant loss of quality. 
  • Noise Reduction: Drum scanning can minimize noise, especially in shadow areas, resulting in cleaner, smoother images. 
  • Professional and Fine Art Applications: Due to their superior quality, drum scans are favored by professional photographers, archivists, and those seeking the highest possible image quality for printing and display.
