FINE ART SCANNING SERVICE

PROFESSIONAL HIGH RESOLUTION SCANNING

For those looking to transform their original artworks or preserve archived collections into digital print ready files. Our flatbed scanner produces accurate, pin-sharp reproductions from a wide range of media up to A1.

ABOUT OUR SCANNER

We use our colour calibrated, Epson flatbed professional scanner, which has an optical density of 3.8 DMax and 48-bit colour depth. This combined with our advance scanning software, ensures accurate colour, tone and contrast. For originals larger than A3, we scan in multiple segments and seamlessly stitch them together into a distortion free, single layer image.

HOW DOES IT WORK

Scanning artwork is a first step when producing high quality giclée prints. We focus on producing faithful, fully colour managed, high resolution scans direct from a huge variety of originals. See our process below:

Get in touch with your requirements. We will arrange an appointed time for you to drop in your artwork. Allow 1-3 working days whilst we scan, edit and create your print ready files.

Your originals will be handled with care and scanned to your size and resolution requirements.
During this process we will be checking the colour balance accurately matches the original, whilst removing or tidy up dust, scratches imperfections that may be visable.

All scans are saved and sent to you as a high quality TIFF and JPEG in the size scanned. If you are needing your files set up to specific print sizes with any borders, bleeds or trim marks then we can add on our ‘FILE SET UP’ service. Additional charges apply, please refer to our scanning prices.

Unless you have been quoted beforehand, you will receive an invoice on completion of your scans. Once payment has been made we will email your scan files. You will also recieve 1x A5 test print on your chosen paper for comparison against the original.

We will arrange a appointed collection slot for you to collect your original artwork from the studio.
