Our Kodak Creo IQSMART3 scanner represents the very best in digital scanning technology. With maximum optical resolution of 5500 dpi and top resolution of 10,000 dpi at 16bit color output, Kodak Creo IQSMART3 scanner is equaling the output of a drum scan but without the potential harm from bending a fragile original or exposing it to any additional stresses.

It can scan up to 96 35mm at a time or a single large format transparency or print at a resolution high enough for creation of a wall size mural.

The XY Stitch scanning technology provides unprecedented sharpness necessary for scanning of artwork, lithographic prints and finely detailed etched prints.

To see the difference in quality of scans produced with Kodak Creo IQSMART3 comparing to scans produced by a common scanner you can examine the two scans of the same photograph.

Both scans were made at 600dpi resolution setting. The scan on the left was made with a scanner commonly used in offices and copy shops.
The scan on the right was made with Kodak Creo.

Immediately it can be seen that the scan produced with Kodak Creo is much sharper and has better color balance and saturation. Closer magnification shows that Kodak Creo scan retained even the smallest details while the other scanner blurred the details making the image appear fuzzy. The better mounting of the photograph in the scanner combined with XY Stitch bi-directional scanning reduced the appearance of many cracks in the photograph while retaining the details. All that makes the use of high-resolution scanner extremely important for high quality photo restoration.

In addition, the Kodak Creo IQSMART3 is the fastest high quality scanner in the industry allowing us to produce many quality scans in the shortest period of time. For the purpose of archiving vast collections of photos at exceptional quality, it simply can't be beat. If necessary, all scans created by Preserve Your Past are manually color corrected and the appearance of minor dust and scratch marks is carefully reduced without lowering sharpness or quality of a scanned image.
