Scanning
Artwork Scanning
We use a contact-free flatbed scanner that gently moves your artwork under the scanning head. Your piece is never touched, keeping it safe at all times.
Our advanced 3D lighting system captures fine details, texture, and depth so your artwork looks true to the original.
All artwork is scanned at 600dpi, allowing for beautiful enlargements without losing detail.
Maximum size: 36" x 120"
Standard Scan: A high-quality scan with overall adjustments to:
- Brightness
- Contrast
- Colour
We remove most visible dust and scanning marks. The final file is often ready for printing, though additional retouching can be done if needed for an additional fee.
Production Time: 3-5 Business Days
Colour Matching: For the most accurate reproduction of your original artwork. We:
- Carefully adjust colours using professional colour profiling
- Compare test prints to your original under controlled lighting
- Fine-tune ink levels, brightness, and saturation
This process ensures the final print closely matches your original piece.
Production Time: 5-8 Business days
