In order to create a print, you first need to have an image of the work. The better the image, the better the print.
Some print shops offer art scanning and photography services. We do not, for one very good reason—because one of the premiere art scanning services in the world is just down the road from us. For more info, see below.
Image Requirements
In order to ensure quality prints, your image files need to meet the following minimum requirements:
Resolution: Minimum 300dpi
File Format: TIFF (prefered), JPEG
Color Mode: RGB only
Colorspace: Adobe RGB 1998 (preferred), sRGB
Photography Vs Scanning
Traditionally, photography was the primary means of capturing a quality image of your physical artwork and it is still a viable method today. In fact, we’ve even produced prints of beautiful quality from photos taken with a smartphone.
But in our experience, images produced using a flatbed scanning system are the best in quality, detail, and accuracy in color. That’s why we are privileged to work closely with Lizza Studios to provide art scanning services. See below for more information.
