We offer a broad scanning service and are able to scan in your photographs, 35mm slides, glass slides/plates, negatives, microfiche film, original paintings, drawings, and any other form of artwork.
We produce digital files which can then be used for other print work and can also be emailed to you or saved on a supplied USB stick.
We are well versed in scanning A2, A1 and A0 architectural drawings, construction plans, engineering drawings in either colour or black and white to PDF, Jpeg or Tiff.
Rid your office of clutter by having your drawings scanned for easy storage and retrieval, great for archiving old drawings, reducing a pile of documents and plans to digital files which we can email to you via We Transfer, or put onto USB (supplied by you), CD or DVD.
Please contact us for prices on large quantities of scanning.
At Orbitpress, we also offer an audio visual service. We can transfer from video and camcorder to DVD or USB, the default file format is MP4.
Cine films can also be transferred to DVD, or USB editable streaming and storage formats.
Slides and photos can be scanned onto DVD or USB.
For more information about these and other services available please contact us.
Photo restoration can be anything from minor dust spots and colour restoration to repairs from major damage.
Photographs are easily repaired to look like new as the examples seen here show.
Please allow up to a week for restoration but the work is usually complete within 3 days on average.
Prices start from £50 + vat and for this you receive, included with restoration work, the newly restored image as a digital high resolution jpeg file emailed to you.
Prints can be ordered for an additional cost from the jpeg files.

In a nutshell, lithographic print uses wet inks and printing plates to produce print, digital print uses dry powder toner fused at a high temperature onto the sheet.
With the latest digital presses on the market giving near lithographic quality, the digital process, as a general rule of thumb, is quicker and financially more suitable for the shorter print runs.
However, there comes a point when the cost of litho and digital meet, and as the quantity grows, lithographic becomes a more cost effective option. We are fortunate to be able to offer both processes, and always ensure that each job is looked at individually, and priced accordingly to give the customer the best price we can.
There are exceptions to this, some jobs are suited more to lithographic print, it could be the weight of the material required is too thick for the digital press, the size of the sheet required is too big, and sometimes it could be that the content of the print just isn’t suited to the digital process, although this is a rare occurrence.
