How can Arizona Scanning offer both affordable and high quality slide scanning and photo scanning services?
Although our Customer Service Center is not often asked this question, we believe most of our customer shoppers ask themselves
this very question. Since our founder believes so strongly in making slide scanning and photo scanning affordable in order that families can actually preserve
thier precious memories, we have a team of Cheapskates who focus on affordability and quality issues.
The Arizona Scanning Cheapskates focus on every operational business process to ensure we are performing each step of the slide scanning and photo scanning
processes as efficient and as affordable as practical. Bonuses are awarded to our Cheapskates and employees who save the most money each quarter.
It works! Arizona Scanning has saved a bundle and these savings enable us to offer better prices to our customer shoppers.
Additionally, we ask our customers to carefully
prepare their collections for scanning and, this enables us to offer better prices as well. So it is a two-way project in which both parties
(you and Arizona Scanning) work hard to achieve the finest slide scanning and photo scanning images at the most affordable price. At the time of this writing we are at least 14-cents-a-slide and 7-cents-a-photo
cheaper than our nearest competitor!
In regards to quality, our founder was personally involved with the testing and ultimate selection of our slide and photo scanners. Some of our competitors
use high speed "document scanners" when scanning. Believe us, there is a world of difference between a "document scanner" and a "photo scanner"!
During testing we brought in house some very expensive commercial scanners costing more than $40,000 each and, they failed our stringent slide and photo
testing standards almost immediately. The optics (cameras) in these scanners failed our digital imaging quality tests.
Arizona Scanning spent months testing various scanners and, we discovered that most scanners on today's market won't produce high quality slide or photo
scans. In conclusion, we found a scanner that, although not as fast as those $40,000 scanners, it offered superior optics required for
our 3000-dpi slide scans and 600-dpi photo scans.
