High-resolution digital captures of paintings, drawings and other original artwork, photographed in our studio with Phase One equipment and color-matched to the original. For reproductions, archives, portfolios and giclée editions.
A capture is a studio photograph of your original, made with even lighting, a color reference and a camera built for this work. The result is a file of up to 350 MB that holds every brushstroke and the true colors of the piece.
From that file we can print reproductions on fine art paper or canvas, matched against the original under the lights at the counter, and you keep the file for your own records and future editions.
Photographed in our studio. Minimum three-day turnaround, or by appointment.
If your original has metallic paint, leaf or other reflective elements, this technique records them properly. A must for work with metallics.
A 5 × 17 inch section of your capture printed at final size on the paper or canvas you’ve chosen. Included at no extra charge with your first print.
An 8 × 44 inch proof with part of the image at print size, the entire image small, and nine color-and-density choices to compare against the original.
Flat artwork can also go on our scanner instead of in front of the camera. When reflection isn’t a problem, a scan gives the sharpest, highest-resolution file we can make. The scan bed is 12 × 17 inches; a larger piece is scanned in overlapping sections and stitched together.
$25.00 for the first scan, as a reproduction print scan: critically adjusted for color, density and contrast, and dust-spotted by an experienced technician.
$12.00 for each additional section when a piece has to be stitched. Plus a $5.00 setup per order.
Not sure which suits your piece? Bring it in and we’ll look at it together.
Unframed is best, but framed pieces can often be captured too. Call ahead for large or fragile work.
In the studio, with controlled lighting and a color target, by a photographer who does this every week.
We print a sliver proof on your chosen paper and compare it to the original, side by side, until it’s right.
One print or a numbered run, on fine art paper or canvas, each matched to the first.
Flat work up to 12 × 17 inches can be scanned, which is sharper and less expensive. Larger pieces can be scanned in overlapping sections, but the cost climbs with size. Textured paintings, anything under glass, and work with metallics or a reflective surface are better captured. See Or We Scan It above, or Scanning.
