Artwork reproduction and 3D fine art scanning — brushstroke-accurate capture of paintings, drawings and originals for archival giclée editions. Serving Manchester City Centre from our Timperley workshop, 20–25 minutes from Manchester City Centre.
Artwork Reproduction in Manchester City Centre
3D fine art scanning and giclée reproduction for Manchester artists, galleries and collectors. Our scanner captures brushstroke and impasto texture in full 3D — not the flat copy-stand photography most studios rely on — and outputs straight to our Hahnemühle Certified printers for archival editions. We're 20–25 minutes from the city centre, with own-van collection from M1–M4 studios.
Central Manchester pulls from a different mix than the suburbs — gallery hangs in the Northern Quarter, hospitality fit-outs in Ancoats and Spinningfields, plus apartment owners furnishing new-build interiors. Volume and turnaround tend to matter as much as craft.
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 Manchester City Centre
Central Manchester reproduction work spans Northern Quarter painters scanning a back catalogue for limited-edition Hahnemühle prints, Ancoats studio artists archiving originals before sale, and gallery clients preparing high-fidelity facsimiles of sold pieces for record. We also run pre-Manchester Art Fair scans for exhibiting artists.
What it costs
Manchester reproduction is priced on the size of the original, whether it needs flat 2D capture or full 3D texture scanning, and how many giclée prints you want — a Northern Quarter back-catalogue edition is a bigger job than a single scan. The artwork reproduction calculator gives an instant price for your exact size.
