The film era has been truly magnificent. Up until just a couple of years ago, we watched thousands of rolls of film come in each day. Our film printers and their skilled operators have produced hundreds of thousands of large wall portraits that are still treasured by their owners. And, who knows how many competition prints have been awarded merits over the years that were printed right here?
While technology has marched on since those days, we have and will continue to offer film services at Miller’s, following in the traditions that helped us start and grow our business over the last forty years. However, to adjust to the changing market, we will be making a couple of modifications to how we handle film, effective January 1, 2010.
Just what exactly will be changing? We will continue to print optically for orders 11x14 and smaller, as we’ve always done. However, print orders larger than 11x14 will be scanned and printed on our digital printers. Because we are printing these digitally, requests for negative retouching will automatically be sent to digital retouching.
What exactly will this mean to you? You probably will not notice any change at all! In fact, if you are used to traditional retouching, you may be happier with the flexibility digital retouching can offer. And, we are confident that you will be just as thrilled with the quality of your large digital prints. We genuinely believe they are the best the industry has to offer!
