Large Format Scanning of Original Art or Image

Directly scanning your UNFRAMED original artwoork gives the best possible results. We do large format flatbed scans up to 44" wide with a 40" image size on the narrowest side and up to 84" in length. Our Contex scanner for artwork (see Contex website for artwork scanning here) utilizes cameras allowing seamless stitching between the cameras. It should be noted that not ALL colors can be reproduced by scanner cameras although they try to get as close as they are capable.  Particularly those colors that are fluorescent, neon, or metallic which are difficult to reproduce exactly.

We will then try to color match the original as close as possible. Differences inherent in ink dyes, pigments and paper selected sometimes prevent exact duplication of the original.

Scan price includes minor color corrections and retouching of the digital file up to 1 hr. Additional corrections or retouching at customer request will be billed at $65 per hour. Scanned images are then archived with us for future prints.

We will not perform a scan without prior authorization from the client. All client-approved services are the financial responsibility of the client. Refunds for scanning services are not an option. See our policy page for scanning and turnaround time.

Preparing Your Artwork For Scanning

When submitting your original artwork or image for large format scanning please make sure:

• Your paint is dry.
• It is unframed and unmatted.*
• Pastel and charcoal originals need to have a fixative applied to protect the integrity of the work.
• Canvas artwork submitted without stretcher bars will achieve optimal results on our large format scanner.
• Canvas artwork submitted with stretcher bars will require a photographic transparency. The photographic transparency will then need to be scanned to obtain the digital image.

*An additional charge of $20 each will be incurred when submitting framed art work that requires dismantling. We are not responsible for any damage to artwork or framing should we be expected to remove it.
