Artwork Scanning

 

We provide a high-resolution scanning service using the latest Epson flatbed scanner, with an optical density of 3.8 DMax and 48-bit colour depth ensuring sharp and accurate scanning for full reproduction of the widest range of colours, even in shadow areas.

All types of art media can be scanned in fine detail - watercolour, oils, acrylics, photographs, polaroids, canvases, charcoal drawings, pastel, pen and ink.

We scan up to A2 if the artwork is flat and up to A3+ if on a frame. For larger sizes, please see our artwork photography service.

Your scans can be downloaded in tiff and jpg format.
