Scan Info
What is your turn-around time?
Turn-around times can range from 2wks to 4 hours depending on how much you want to spend.
Do you scan off-site?
If there is sufficient room for me to properly set up the lighting and photography equipment, you can potentially request Off-Site Scanning. These requests are charged as SameDay Rush scans at an added 75% surcharge of the scan total. The area of space needed will depend greatly on the overall size of the piece. Please contact if you would like to know more about this option.
Can you scan through glass?
Using indirect lighting angles and polarization filters I can cut out any reflections to avoid removing artwork from frames. If you would prefer to have the artwork scanned outside of the frame you will have to remove it prior to Drop Off.
How will Gold/Silver scan?
Thanks to special polarization filters, I can either block out glare from a shiny surface or open up the lens to reflection and see metallics as our own eyes do. With 10+ years experience scanning artwork, I have found a few lighting tricks to scan paintings that are both varnished and/or metallic.
How high of resolution can you scan?
The resolution (DPI) will vary but I generally provide files over 200 mega pixels. For reference, most scans can print 6ft long at recommended resolutions. If higher resolutions are needed I am capable of providing that, however extreme enlargements may come at an additional cost, as more work would be involved.
In what format will I recieve my files?
3 preformatted versions:
1. Archive/TIFF/16bit/Hi-Res/Non-Compressed
2. Print/JPG/8bit/Hi-Res/Compressed
3. Preview/JPG/sRGB/Lo-Res
Can you edit something out of the file?
I sure can! For simple edits like removing a signature I can include with the scan, but for more time intensive requests I offer Photo Edit rates of $25/hr. If you let me know what all you would like to have done I can give you a time estimate before drafting an invoice.
Can you change the color something in my scan?
Yes, but that would be classified as a Photo Edit Request ($25/hr). Edits can be made at clients requests via email, with multiple rounds (if needed) of file adjustment comparisons until client is satisfied with end file. Most adjustments can be managed within 1 hour.
Why do I need to schedule an appointment?
Since this is a one-woman show I have to schedule my time wisely. Advance scheduling will help insure I stay close to my original time estimates given at the time of Drop Off.
Can I ship you my original artwork to scan?
Yes! Clients that take on the cost of shipping to-&-fro will receive an automatic 15% discount. Artwork is returned using the same method and packaging whenever possible. Clients will be invoiced for the return cost once tracking is established.
