Uncompressed Image Capture

We use professional scanners designed for archival digitisation of artwork and photographs. It captures precise detail and accurate colour to produce exceptional results. This example shows the difference between a standard capture on a scanner found in most homes and offices alongside a capture on our archival scanner.

Exceptional Resolution

Photographed artworks are generally limited to ~30 Megapixels. In comparison, our 600dpi A2 scans are ~139 Megapixels. The example shows the difference between a supplied photographed artwork and one of our scans.

Adjustable Lighting

Textured artworks often require additional lighting to create the best reproduction. We adjust the lighting based on your style of work to capture the best result for print-based reproduction. The example shows the difference between a flat scan and a 3D illuminated scan.
