ScanDigital, the premier photo and home movie transfer service, announces today a partnership with Memory Makers, a popular scrapbooking franchise featuring a print publication, books, digital media and events. Through the partnership, scrapbook designers whose work will be featured in Memory Makers magazine will utilize ScanDigital'ss services to convert physical scrapbook designs into digital format. Using a custom console designed for Memory Makers, designers will now send ScanDigital their creations for print-quality digital conversion. As the exclusive provider of scanning services, ScanDigital will convert the pages by scanning, retouching, and optimizing the digital copy of the design. The digital versions will then be sent to Memory Makers for inclusion in upcoming issues as a way to inspire their readers with creative new design ideas.
This is a natural partnership as both Memory Makers and ScanDigital are in the business of encouraging people to enjoy their family'ss memories and history. ScanDigital brings the past
alive by converting analog material to digital format for preservation and organization. Through its scrapbooking shows and publications, Memory Makers encourages the sharing of memories,
showcased in beautifully designed scrapbook layouts. ScanDigital'ss services are ideal for scrapbookers as a way to make ancestry books without using the precious originals, preserve
their artwork, print copies for loved ones, show off their creations in the online gallery, and use old photos in digital scrapbooking.
Memory Makers is a premier brand within the scrapbooking community, and our services are ideal for scrapbooking enthusiasts, says Anderson Schoenrock, ScanDigital CEO. We are thrilled to
have structured a partnership to provide content for their publication.
Partnering with ScanDigital allows us to streamline the layout submission process for our 70+ contributors in each issue, and it ensures quality uniformity in presentation, all while
ensuring that each layout is treated with the care it deserves, says Beth Williams, Executive Editor, Memory Makers.
