Slides & Transparencies
35mm Slides
Ideal for Architectural awards, PR kits, on location presentations, Art submissions,
and generally high resolution film output from digital file.
No other medium presents the rich, bold colours and photographic
image quality of 35mm slides. Only slides deliver the high
image resolution needed to bring your presentation visuals
to life with sharp, clearly defined text and exceptional image
detail.
Our
film recorders are maintained on a weekly basis to ensure
accuracy of colour interpretation and sharpness.

Slides from digital file
These can be ready in as quick as four hours from virtually
any format file from Macintosh or Windows. Our specialist
knowledge includes outputting from PowerPoint, Quark Xpress,
Corel Draw, Illustrator and Photoshop.
Photographers and designers rest assured, all slides are
prescanned and meticulously monitored for Pantone® colour
correction, accuate flesh tone and grey scale levels. Slides
come packaged beautifully in slide pocket sleeves at no extra
charge, ready for viewing on a light box.
Our finishing includes standard plastic mounting with additional
text imprinting availible, or for a truely professional finish
choose durable glass mounting.
Slides are used by a wide variety of image professionals
and businesses to convey a concise message in an impressive
format. Applications to major Australian art awards, including
the Archibald, Wynne, Sir John Sulman and Dobell prizes as
well as art students applying to University all require a
35mm Colour Slides of their works.

for projectable quality.
Cost-saving 24, 48 or 72 hour turn-arounds are available
for all 35mm slide services.
Medium & Large Format Transparencies
Traditional means of using larger format transparencies than 35mm is a slowly
dissapearing as the digital age kicks in. The need for a larger transparency
is now superceded by the digital file yet the occasional requirement happens.
And yes, we can output to larger formats. It does take longer than a 35mm
slide so allow 2-3 days. They are output at the high ratio of 8,000 lines so
require massive sized bitmapped files or from ordinary vector files. Vector
images are rasterised back to 8,000 line and then output. Our specialist knowledge
includes outputting from virtually any format including PowerPoint, Quark Xpress,
Corel Draw, Illustrator and Photoshop.
Duplication
Photographic medium and large format slide duplications are
available at the same time at reduced rates.
