Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Manchester · M21
Artwork reproduction and 3D fine art scanning — brushstroke-accurate capture of paintings, drawings and originals for archival giclée editions. Serving Chorlton from our Timperley workshop, 15 minutes from Chorlton.
Artwork Reproduction in Chorlton
3D fine art scanning and giclée reproduction for Chorlton's working artists, photographers and galleries — fifteen minutes from M21. We scan in 3D at up to 1200 DPI rather than photographing flat, ICC-profile to the exact paper and printer, and supply either edition-ready prints or layered master files so you keep full control of future reprints.
Chorlton-cum-Hardy is one of Manchester's strongest independent creative communities — Beech Road galleries, the Chorlton Arts Festival crowd, and a steady flow of artists, illustrators and photographers needing edition framing, exhibition prints and gallery hangs. The Edwardian and inter-war housing stock around Chorltonville and Chorlton Green also brings in heirloom reframing work.
Our 3D fine art scanner captures originals at up to 1200 DPI, including the brushstroke texture and impasto detail that flatbed scanners and DSLR copy-stands simply miss. Oil paintings under varnish, heavy gesso, gilded surfaces and pastels all scan cleanly — no glare, no colour shift. Output goes straight to our Hahnemühle Certified giclée printers for archival editions up to 3m × 2m.
What we do for Chorlton
Chorlton reproduction work centres on the M21 creative scene — Beech Road painters scanning a year's work for a Chorlton Arts Festival edition release, illustrators converting originals to limited-edition Hahnemühle prints, and photographers archiving paintings of friends' work before they sell.
What it costs
Chorlton pricing turns on the size of the original, whether flat 2D capture or full 3D texture scanning is needed, and how many Photo Rag prints you want — a festival edition run and a one-off archive scan are different jobs. The artwork reproduction calculator gives an instant price for your exact size.
