Artist Services Art Scanning Terms

Files are provided as a dropbox link for you to then download and save (and back up). Files are available for 30 days and are not saved afterwards. 

At Artist Services we scan with printing art prints in mind. This means we create print files with more/less saturation, brightness, vibrance and contrast than your original painting, with the aim to make sure if it was printed it would look amazing.

Colours will be incredibly close, but the nature of scanning means there will be some difference. The Complete Scan lets you request a re-touch and new print file if you are not happy with the first file provided. Further re-touching can be done at $74 p/h with 30 minutes being the minimum.

Maximum size of original artwork = 1000mm x 1000mm.

Some types of mediums can be very tricky to scan, here are some works that we probably wont be able to create an accurate scan of:
- reflective mediums like high gloss varnishes, resined paintings, or framed work behind glass.
- solid black, Gold or Silver work.
- 3D works like framed objects.
- wavy paper works.
