Fine Art Printing Services: Image Capture

Image capture is the first step in the process of taking an original work of art and producing a limited edition print. We have recently invested significantly in our state of the art image capture studio. All of our image capture is performed on our new Cruse scanner. This large-format, flat-bed scanner enables us to scan originals up to 150cm x 245cm - currently this is exclusively available in the UK at Collier & Dobson Limited.

The Cruse scanner offers unparalleled optical precision, ensuring that the scan quality exceeds that of any other scan at a comparable dpi and file size. Its large depth of focus ensures that images on rippled or curled paper or canvas remain in focus across the entire image area.

Its advanced lighting system eliminates over 99% of reflection from glossy or varnished surfaces. Even lighting or textured lighting allow realistic reproduction of originals. The evenly lit scan results in minimal visible texture, heavy impasto remains visible, but paper texture will be minimal. Textured lighting results in visible texture of both the medium and the substrate.

We believe that to produce a great print you have to start with the best image, this scanner gives us the images we need to take best advantage of current printing technology. If you would like more information about our fine art printing services please do not hesitate to contact us.
