Artwork & Film Scanning at Love to Frame
At Love to Frame, we offer professional high-resolution art scanning for artists, photographers, and collectors who want to preserve, reproduce, or archive their work in exceptional detail. Using state-of-the-art scanning technology, we produce stunning, colour-accurate digital files that form the foundation for perfect giclée printing, high-quality reproductions, or secure digital archiving.
Whether you’re preparing limited edition prints, building your portfolio, or simply want to safeguard your originals, our scanning service ensures your art’s finest details are captured faithfully.
Creating high resolution and color accurate scans for professional artwork reproductions
We work with artists from many different disciplines — painting, drawing, watercolor, pen and ink, illustration, collage, as well as other mixed media works on paper.
To create accurate renditions of the originals, we scan artwork at up to 1200 DPI for incredible detail using our color calibrated software. Shadow and highlight detail is preserved, and tonality remains smooth while capturing texture accurately. We also scan photographic prints and heirloom family photographs to either digitize, optimize, restore, or preserve.
5 Reasons To Get Reproductions Made Of Your ARTWORK
1. Reproductions Generate More Income
As aforementioned, art reproductions can quickly generate more income for a particular piece of work. Rather than selling a piece once, reproducing it allows you to sell it ten, twenty, thirty times. Although the price of a reproduction is lower than the original art price, there is no actual loss in selling both simultaneously – and this way, you will be able to get more bang for the effort you put into creating the piece in the first place. Better yet, if you have your art reproduced by a company that offers a ‘ complete selling system‘ (like us!), the process of reproducing and selling your art is entirely streamlined and tailored to make things easy for you.
2. Reproductions Increase the Value Of the Original Artwork
Contrary to popular belief, selling high-quality giclee reproductions of your art can actually increase the value of the original artwork. The price of art is often dependent on the availability of the art and the renown of the artist. So, if you increase the number of reproductions, that one original piece will be less available comparatively, and the artist will likely be more well-known as a result. Thus, the original art becomes more sought after for true art collectors, which will intrinsically raise the price in the consumer’s eyes.
3. Reproductions Make the Artwork More Versatile
Fine art printing is incredibly versatile and shouldn’t be forgotten when discussing the benefits of reproducing your artwork. Giclee reproductions can be produced on anything from paper to canvas, so the world is your oyster when it comes to the medium you would like to print on. Beyond that, giclee reproductions can generally be done on a reasonably on-demand basis, so you can offer more options to your clients – rest assured that you will be able to deliver their purchases promptly.
4. Reproductions Make Your Art More Accessible
As mentioned above, reproducing your paintings can increase the value of the original work. The reason for this is that your art is now more accessible and therefore more well-known. Making your art more available at a lower price than the original will significantly increase your art’s reach. Word of mouth is the most powerful type of marketing for any industry, and there is no real downside in increasing the number of satisfied customers you’ve sold art to. Cheaper and accessible art means more people will be talking and creating more positive word of mouth for your art.
5. Reproductions Create Opportunities For Limited Works
This is the last one and probably the most forgotten about when it comes to reproducing your art. Limited works and exclusive reproductions are a whole world of profit for artists. If you have a particularly popular piece, you can arrange an alternative reproduction of it. You may choose to print on a different medium or change a hue in the capturing process. Heck, you could even just number the reproductions and hand-sign them. These ideas are very simple, very cost-effective ways to implement giclee reproductions to create higher quality, limited works.
SCANNING TECH
High Resolution 3m x 2m Scanning
Our Love To Frame flatbed scanner takes advantage of CCD technology, utilising a light source, mirrors, lens and image sensors to deliver high resolution scans up to 1200 DPI. The scanner is able to scan artwork upto 3m x 2m in a multitude of formats including TIFF, JPEG and PDF.
Unmatched Colour Accuracy
The scanner handles 36-bit colour meaning it’s capable of capturing 68 billion colours, after gamma, white and black point correction and other image operations are performed on the 36-bit data, the best 24-bits are outputted. This ensures scans benefit from low noise and rapid transfer whilst ensuring quality is not lost.
2D & 3D Scanning
The revolutionary 3D scanning mode opens many new opportunities in Fine Art Printing, allowing us to capture paper surface textures, art materials such as acrylic and oil and any other textured pieces to give the perception of depth.
