Digital Reproduction
There are three ways that we can create a digital file of your original artwork to be used for printing and reproducing. We can photograph the original, scan it from a transparency or a print, or you can supply us with a high-quality digital file. We offer large-format scanning for any artwork size.
SCANNING TRANSPARENCIES
We understand that providing us with the original is not always easy, so we also accept transparencies or high-quality photographic prints. When working with slides, we prefer an 8x10 but can also work with a 4x5. Our Scitex Eversmart Flatbed Scanner produces results equivalent to drum scans.

PHOTOGRAPHY
Ding artwork at our Rhode Island studio is ideal if you can bring or ship the original. Shipping insured art is affordable, and we can help with cost-effective options. Having the original speeds up proofing, improves accuracy, and allows for special techniques like multiple exposures for highlights and shadows. We use advanced equipment, including a digital scan-back on a 4x5 camera, a unique lens, and specialized lighting. A typical capture takes 15-20 minutes, producing a 2GB Raw file.
DIGITAL IMAGE
You can also send us a digital file you may already have. If you send us a file, it is best to send us a "target" (a physical, hard copy print you have approved the colors on) for comparison. This can be the original or any hardcopy output you have made of it. If we do not get a target to match, we will send out an initial proof with minimal corrections for you to comment on and work off of.
Please call us before sending us the file and let us know the size and format. If you can, it is advisable to do this before getting the work photographed. It is typical for many professional photographers to shoot too small files, which are suitable for the web or advertising purposes but lack the resolution for high-end, large-scale reproductions. Ideally, we need a file at 300DPI at the final output size. We can interface with your photographer to ensure you get a usable file if you contact us.

Notice
Many professional photographers lack the necessary equipment to produce this type of file in the field; although they may be outstanding photographers, this is a specialty, so we advise that you try to work with someone who specializes in fine art copy photography.
