Digital Imagery Lab

In addition to our traditional photo lab services, SBG offers the speed and convenience of digital photo lab services. We can produce high resolution hardcopy output of our rectified orthophotography or any digital image with amazing image quality. We use the best equipment available to produce large mosaics from rectified imagery producing accurate scaled images of entire regions. We can also produce non-scaled hardcopy suitable for use as wall hangings etc.

The hallmark of our  lab is a LightJet 5000RS* plotter which incorporates a new 3-laser exposure technology for ultra-high resolution output at sizes up to 4’ x 8’. Photographic prints are made directly from digital files created from SBG’s library of digital orthophotography and aerial imagery. The LightJet’s three lasers produce a precise electronically-controlled light source, placing pixels with exacting specifications of geometry and accuracy on paper or film. The exposed paper paper/film is processed on our new Kreonite Film Processor Mark IV. The resulting output is a continuous tone image indistinguishable from an actual photograph.   Although designed for color reproductions, our new system also produces high quality black/white grayscale output. Our digital photo lab is supported by experienced digital imagery technicians, robust imaging software and the most powerful micro-computers available. OrthoVista is used for tone-matching and mosaics and  Adobe PhotoShop Professional for graphic enhancement.  Microstation and AutoCAD are used for raster-vector integration producing the highest quality, most precise geographic hardcopy  in the industry.
