Archive Update: Scanner Calibration
Today I installed the color correction software we are using to calibrate the Epson 11x17 scanner with our 30 inch Apple Cinema Display and HP Color ScanJet 3550 laser printer. I used a color key painted by Jules Engel from Format Films' "Alvin Show" as a sample. Here is what the painting looks like...
To give you an idea of the resolution of the scanner, here is a detail on Alvin's eye at 1600 dpi...
...and that isn't even the top resolution of this scanner. It goes up to 2400 dpi! It has a transparency adapter so we can scan slides as well.
I plan to start scanning soon, so if you would like to volunteer, give me a call on Tuesday or Thursdays during office hours at 818 842-8330.
