Copy & Storage (Chard™ copies your photos & stores and manages them in the Chard™ multi quadrant system)
This is the service that brings together the very best of what Chard™ has to offer. This service uses the Chard™ Professional Copy System, the Chard™ Archival Storage and the Chard™ Reproduction and Archival Printing should you ever be unfortunate to suffer loss of your priceless family photos.
Chard™ Professional Copy System
At Chard™ we know the copy process is where the image can suffer the greatest loss of sharpness, detail, colour, contrast & density and if this part is not preformed to the highest of standards the image will be permanently compromised. All the retouching and processing skills, in the world, are no substitute for a good professional quality copy of the original.
The Chard™ professional copy system uses its own highly sophisticated, high resolution digital capture with professional colour management, perfect for copying photographs.
All files are produced with the latest professional equipment which takes advantage of an extremely high bit depth, dynamic range and file size.
The files are then processed using the latest professional software programs to either make them into archival storage plates or into files compatible with Chard™ reproduction and archival printing.
Chard™ Archival Storage
At Chard™ we have used the latest technology to develop our own RAID system which is stored on multiple media in multiple locations to ensure the safety of your precious family memories. Our multi quadrant system is constantly checked for system failure and if any is detected it is repaired immediately not only that, our system is constantly being upgraded so that our operating systems never become obsolete.
Chard™ Reproduction and Archival Printing
Chard’s™ dedication to the preservation of photographic images has naturally led us to only output all our reproduction prints on to archival 100% rag paper (that is rated conservation, museum grade and meets the Fine Art Trade Guild of the U.K. prints specifications for image permanence) and archival pigmented inks.
At Chard™, we use only the highest quality materials to ensure accurate colour with consistently predictable and repeatable results. Using our own profiles and our state-of-the-art Giclee printer, our archival prints have an unsurpassed colour gamut and density that will accurately represent your photographs for generations to come.
Chard™ is the first to provide the entire service from professional copying through to archival storage and on to reinstatement through reproduction and archival printing of your irreplaceable family memories.
“I only wish this service had been available when I really needed it…”
