![]() ![]() So, they know a thing or two about imaging. However, it did partner with Fuji and Kodak, producing both Fuji and Kodak ‘rebadged’ mini-lab equipment. But Noritsu was the only one not producing film. On the commercial end, especially as it pertains to the old film ‘Mini-Labs’,… Noritsu, Fuji and Kodak were pretty much the kings of the castle. The Commercial EndĪnyway, Noritsu is a Japanese photography equipment manufacturer. But does anyone remember the cost of an Imacon? They are as much as $25-26K! Good Lord! I just want it to extract some pixels,…not lay a golden egg. The absolute limits on detail and then prepping the print file afterward in Photoshop or some version of an image altering software, because the colors are never right! I know these are a $1000 to $2000 on Ebay. What I’ve always hated about scanning? All the prep, all the extreme dust control,…all the ‘wasted’ time. So, scanning with even the Noritsu LS-600 should satisfy everyone.įact is, this is the first time I’m seriously considering usurping my darkroom. Even at the normal 300 dpi settings of most inkjet users, (some insist anything over 240 dpi is a waste anyway), that would still be a 20 x 13 print. I’ve never seen companies be that conservative with their marketing numbers. So you can print that size file up to 20 x 30. If you are sending it out to get a digital C-print, (LightJet or Lambda), on Fuji Crystal archive, or on Kodak Endura, you can comfortably uses 200ppi. Well, yah, at 330 DPI on an inkjet printer. I.e., that a 4011 x 6048 px file will give you a 12 x 18 print. Second, this review will be short and sweet. While you may be able to suck a few more details out of Howtek or Tango drum scanners,…I doubt it. Mostly for ease of use once you’re setup and have your workflow down. ![]() However, even I have to admit, the Noritsus, and probably the Fuji SP-500, are in a totally different league. I have used the Nikon 9000, Minolta Dimage 5400, Imacon FlexTight Precision II, (I suppose I considered that the Cadillac of scanners), and an assortment of flatbeds. Since I’m still printing in the darkroom on fiber paper, I’m far from an expert. My first off is that I used a Noritsu LS600 and HS-1800 for testing, because that’s what my friend’s small lab has. ![]()
