Color Scanning, Correcting, & Image Retouching
At Holland Litho we make color look good! Years of experience and the best technology available have helped us develop a reputation for being able to make images look their very best.
Color Scanning
Holland Litho 4-color scans are all done on high-end drum scanners capable of reproducing and often enhancing detail in the original. Images are evaluated to determine the appropriate resolution for the application. Enough to maximize the image detail, but not more than will actually be used in the finished product. All scanners are capable of producing even more resolution than necessary, but most don’t capture the level of detail our high end drum scanner is capable of capturing. This is one of the most overlooked areas in preparing files for print. If you have good prints or transparencies of your image, and your images are important to your promotion, we strongly suggest talking to us about having us scan them. Fine art reproductions are another thing that we specialize in!
Color Correcting
Yes, everyone has the tools to do this themselves. No, it’s not always as simple as going into “curves” and pulling down a little magenta. Conversions from RGB to CMYK are not automatic, even with the best conversion profiles. Digital photography is not necessarily “ready to go”. We work with some of the best photographers, helping them convert and correct their images before they are submitted for print. Our color technicians use the best tools available to achieve the best results possible with your images. We do not rely solely on our computer screen to judge color. We use experience, percentages, color references, and our calibrated proofing systems to determine color. We've spent many thousands of dollars on proofing hardware and software to help ensure color accuracy. If your images are important to your promotional material, and you are supplying them electronically, we suggest talking to us about checking and possibly editing them.
Image Retouching
For those hard-to-do outlines, shadows, and retouching projects, our operators have the skill to produce images that will make the best impression!
