Fine Art Scanning: A Safe Way to Preserve Your Masterpieces
Have you ever hesitated to display your original fine art due to concerns about potential damage or fading? Fine art scanning offers a secure and reliable solution, allowing you to showcase your artwork without compromising the original piece. At Arrow Photo, we specialize in creating exact replicas of your fine art through a meticulous scanning process.
The Scanning Process
Our skilled technicians begin by photographing your artwork in our studio, ensuring optimal lighting conditions to capture every detail. This initial step is crucial for producing a high-quality digital image that serves as the foundation for your fine art reproduction.
Digital Editing and Proofing
Once photographed, the image undergoes digital editing to ensure that the final print matches the original in terms of quality, color, and contrast. We provide you with a proof of the edited image, allowing you to review and comment on its fidelity. One proof is included in the service, with additional proofs or test prints available for $10 each. Rest assured, the master file remains untouched, preserving the original image for future reproductions.
Storage and Accessibility
After the proofing process, the master file is securely stored in our print shop, ensuring easy access for any future prints you may need. Additionally, we provide you with a Flash drive containing the master file, along with both low-resolution and high-resolution versions of the final image for your records.
Printing Options
Once you approve the proofs, our expert technicians proceed to print the final copy. We use only the highest quality materials to ensure your reproduction stands the test of time. Our fine art paper is acid-free with a cold-pressed, thick textured surface, ideal for capturing the essence of your original artwork. Alternatively, you may opt to have your image printed on canvas or explore other available mediums.
Archival Inks and Materials
For lasting results, we use archival inks that are designed to be permanent on the selected paper or canvas. Our commitment to quality is evident in our choice of materials, which include genuine Epson inks and archival products from trusted brands like Frederics, Hahnemuhle, and Epson.
Custom Sizing
We can print your image to your specified size, up to 62 inches, allowing you to maintain the original’s impact and presence. Our skilled technicians are available to assist you in selecting the best size for your reproduction.
In summary, fine art scanning offers a safe and effective way to preserve and display your original artwork. With Arrow Photo’s expertise and dedication to quality, you can enjoy the beauty of your art without the worry of damage to the original piece.
