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. 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, high resolution scans direct from a huge variety of originals. See our process below:

Get in touch with your requirements. We will create a quote and arrange an appointed time for you to drop in your artwork.

  • Once your invoice has been paid, original artworks will be carefully handled and scanned to your requirments.
  • Turnaround times may vary depending on the scanning service you select (Basic or Fine Art) and we’ll provide an estimated timeframe once your order is confirmed.
  • When the scanning is complete, we’ll email your digital files and arrange a convenient time for you to collect your original pieces.
  • All scans are saved and sent to you as a high quality TIFF or your preferred file type 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  prices below.

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