New Sprocket Portals Have Arrived
When we rolled out Sprocket, our virtual ordering assistant a few months ago, we initially offered 3 of the 5 portals that were planned!
The first three portals for Sprocket were:
- Return a Prepaid Pro8mm Package
- Process and Scan non-Pro8mm film
- Upgrade a Film Kit
We have now launched the 4th and 5th portals for scanning film to digital and processing and scanning outdated film such as discontinued Kodachrome and Ektachrome.
These self directed portals (especially Portal 4 for Scanning Film to Digital) with the assistance of Sprocket will replace the digital mastering form, and allow you to prepare your own order. One thing clients love is you can play with the scanning options, and try quoting your job a few different ways to fit your budget, timeline, and scan quality requirements. This is much faster than waiting for one of our team members to prepare a quote for you, since sometimes there is a bottleneck in this process when we are really busy. You can create a quote for a single scan, or a dual format master if your job requires more than one type of file format with normal or rush services.
Here is a quick walk through of the process for using Sprocket to Scan film to Digital:
- Go to shop
- Go to Scan film to Digital
- Go to Order Now
- Select the film type 8mm, Super8mm, 16mm , or 35mm
- Select Roll length
- Select your turn around options
- Select your mastering options
- Select your file and prep options
- Check Out!
