Artwork Scanning

Our artwork scanning service is suitable for sizes up to A2; larger artworks can be digitised using our artwork photography service.

We provide a high-resolution scanning service using the latest fine art flatbed and line scanners, ensuring sharp and accurate details. We capture the widest range of colours, textures and tones - even in shadow areas.

One of the most crucial stages in artwork reproductions is origination. With over 20 years of experience, we utilise our skills and specialist equipment to accurately match your originals, paying close attention to the texture, details and hues used in your artwork to give you a digital copy.

All our devices are fully colour-managed using our proprietary software, so you can be confident you'll get professional results from all our scanning, retouching and printing services.

We can safely archive your images free of charge so you can create giclee prints of your art on-demand. You can be confident that we store your art in a secure location, encrypt all digitised images, and your artwork is covered by specialist insurance while on-site.

All mediums can be photographed in fine detail - including watercolour, oils, acrylics, photographs, canvases, charcoal drawings, pencil, pastel, pen and ink.

Artworks larger than A2 can be digitised using our artwork photography service.
