First up, a quick note - if you've noticed our film scanning services were temporarily closed, rest easy as our Flextight 949 is being repaired right now, and will be back with us in a few days, good as new. You can go ahead and submit your scanning orders & send in your film.

This month, we've got a fantastic sale on Hahnemühle's newest sustainable eco-papers, Hemp and Agave, and some excellent new Knowledge Base articles from Jeremy and Cam.

As ever, thanks for reading!

Choosing a Paper for Your Next Print

Recently, Image Science director Jeremy Daalder conducted a webinar for a local camera club on choosing the right paper type for your next print.

This article is essentially a transcript of that webinar, edited for readability and is quite possibly the only comprehensive resource you'll ever need on choosing a paper! As an added bonus, for those who'd prefer to listen, we've added a recording of the webinar itself at the end of the article.

Practical Tips for File Naming

Let's face it - most of us are guilty of less-than-tidy file management, especially when in a rush to finish that last minute project - however, having an organised digital filing system in place can save you oodles of time and hassle down the track.

Our Services Manager Cam has put together a handy guide on best practice print file naming to improve your digital asset management and to make working with professional printers a smooth and easy experience.
