When you have a large original people think the only way to digitise it is to photograph the original, yes you can photograph but with photography it usually loses the extreme detail. Usually Cross Polarising lights are used to ensure an evenly lit original, this not only kills any texture in the original but can often lead to unwanted highlights especially on thick impasto work. All lenses exhibit distortion and you are limited to the resolution of the digital camera.

We believe the only true way to digitise originals is on our specialist Scanners/ We are one of the very few companies in the UK who can scan large originals and retain all the details exactly as you would see them in the original up close.

Our specialist flat bed scanners can scan up to 5000dpi and can scan original artwork up to A0 size at any resolution, ideal for massive enlargements.

We can output your originals optimised for it’s intended use whether it is for Fine Art Giclee Prints, a book or publication or for museum gallery prints, we have over 30 years experience in the report and print industry to know exactly whats needed for each output.
