How it works
What’s included
Included list:
- High-resolution digitisation with pin-sharp detail
- Colour and tone balancing matched closely to the original
- Dust/spot tidy (small imperfections)
- Seamless stitching for larger originals (A3–A1)
- TIFF master file supplied via download (up to 2GB per file)
Optional add-ons:
- While-you-wait / rush service (+50%, subject to availability)
- USB delivery for very large files
- Extra retouching (creases, marks, background clean-up) — quoted per job
Sizes & suitability
We can scan originals up to A1. Artwork between A3 and A1 is scanned in sections and seamlessly stitched.
For work larger than A1, or for pieces that are highly textured, framed, or difficult to place flat, please see our Artwork Photography service.
Resolution & scaling
We set scanning specifications to suit your end use — portfolio, web, or large-format printing.
As standard, we scan in high colour depth and can increase resolution if you’re planning to print significantly larger than the original.
