Fine art reproduction naturally starts with great image capture. Some photographers would have you believe they are capable of capturing your artwork with a traditional SLR style camera. This might beacceptable for small pieces of art--if they understood art photography. Alas, photographers are often ill-equipped in this area too.

This is why we use a BetterLight large-format digital scanning system. Our scanning camera is capable of capturing 100 million pixels per exposure, giving us unprecedented image resolution--over four times the amount of detail of the most advanced SLR cameras today. Read more.

Let there be COLOR!

Detail alone cannot win the day, however. It doesn't matter how good the resolution is, if your camera doesn't also understand color. So, it's a good thing the BetterLight scanning back also produces remarkable and accurate color. In combination with correctly applied digital color management, and a color managed workflow, our image capture is guaranteed to knock your socks off.

Scan it in, print it out!

Last but not least is the culmination of the process; output, or printing. Knowing what your printer is capable of is the hallmark of a good printmaker. Utilizing gallery grade media and archival grade ink is a good start to this end; but this is where many printmakers stop. Making your own color managed profiles is also crucial to outstanding output.

Knowing what color is going to come out before you make the first print, however, is the sign of excellence. To know that you have a good capture, which is correctly edited, makes it all the more likely that your first proof matches your original. The only way this is possible is to be intimitately familiar with the entire process.
