Great Success for LaserSoft Imaging®'s Kodachrome Calibration-Targets (IT8)

kodachrome_01_tn Since early January 2009 we are producing our own Kodachrome Calibration slides and the press as well as users are quite impressed. We ourselves are surprised by the high demand, demonstrating the important role of color-consistent scans for many users.



special-offer_rot25 For that reason we have decided to repeat our Calibration Target special from the beginning of this year and offer again 25% rebate on all our online-shop targets until the end of April.
Order your Kodachrome Target with 25% rebate right here in our Online-Shop.

User commentary to an logo-shutterbug_100 article by David Brooks on LaserSoft Imaging's Kodachrome feature and Kodachrome Targets:

„Concerning the new SilverFast Kodachrome features and IT8-targets, I have to agree with David all along the line. I ordered the new target as soon as I took cognizance of its existence. And it works almost perfectly. No blue cast and no (or just very, very few) artifacts anymore (like scratches or dust particles). This is what owners of Kodachrome slide collections have been waiting for so long!“

Just for scientific correctness, we have to inform our users that our Kodachrome Targets, due to a limitation of the film emulsion, cannot be produced according to IT8-Standard specification. Since the calibration is functioning precisely with high quality, this circumstance is without relevance.

*SilverFast Multi-Exposure® is scanner-dependent. Please check availability for your scanner-model here.

Shipping cost adjustment by UPS

LaserSoft Imaging AG, after quite a delay, is forced to pass on a price increase from UPS (introduced by UPS 5th of January 2009) to our customers. Consequently we have to adjust our shipping price in our online shop. Only those prices shown in our shop are billed.

For comparison you can look at the relevant UPS-Shipping cost here...
