Didsbury, Manchester · M20
Artwork reproduction and 3D fine art scanning — brushstroke-accurate capture of paintings, drawings and originals for archival giclée editions. Serving Didsbury from our Timperley workshop, 15 minutes from Didsbury Village.
Artwork Reproduction in Didsbury
3D fine art scanning and Hahnemühle giclée reproduction for Didsbury and West Didsbury artists, illustrators and homeowners. M20's gallery and art-school scene means we handle a steady flow of edition releases, archival scans and commissioned reproductions — fifteen minutes from Didsbury Village via Chorlton, with own-van collection across the postcode.
Didsbury blends a strong independent gallery and art-school scene around Burton Road and West Didsbury with serious Edwardian housing stock and original-art collectors. Manchester Met's art-school graduates often settle in M20, so artwork reproduction and edition printing for working artists is a steady part of our Didsbury 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 Didsbury
Didsbury reproduction jobs include Burton Road gallery artists releasing signed Hahnemühle editions, West Didsbury Manchester Met graduates scanning a portfolio for online print sales, and East Didsbury homeowners archiving inherited oils before family redistribution. Every original is captured at up to 1200 DPI before proofing.
What it costs
Didsbury pricing follows 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 Manchester Met portfolio scan is a different job to one inherited oil. The artwork reproduction calculator gives an instant price for your exact size.
