Fine Art Scanning
We have the equipment and experience required to create top-level fine art reproductions that provide true to life colour accuracy and detail. Our scans are expertly reviewed and refined to ensure a result that is colour-accurate, free from errors, distortion, and imperfections. With every scanned piece, we provide a proof reproduction to ensure colour fidelity.
Capture True Colour and Details
We have the equipment necessary to scan, duplicate, print, and ship any size of artwork. We scan your artwork at a minimum true optical 300dpi resolution. This means all the detail in your artwork will be captured with the finest level of fidelity. If you are reselling your images, having a high-quality scan will ensure your end product is of the highest quality. We can digitize any sized painting/artwork.
Having started over fifteen years ago selling our own art out in the streets of Toronto, as well as the CNE, One Of A Kind, and many more venues, we have the experience and knowledge to support artists in their endeavours.

Realistic 3D Scans
We offer both flat light scanning and 3D light scanning to ensure the best results for your artwork, and we recommend the method to use based on the unique characteristics of each piece. Both techniques are designed to preserve the integrity of the original while highlighting its finest details, ensuring exceptional digital and printed reproductions.
For textured or dimensional pieces, we offer state-of-the-art 3D scanning. This advanced method is designed to bring out the depth and contrast of the artwork, creating a digital representation that feels true to life. By combining multiple scans taken under varying angles of illumination, 3D scanning adds subtle shadows to the final composition, accurately capturing every ridge, brushstroke, and contour. This process is especially well-suited for works with raised textures, such as oil paintings with impasto or other heavy paint applications, preserving the tactile essence of the original.
Flat light scanning is ideal for artwork with minimal texture, such as watercolors, illustrations, or prints. This technique provides even illumination across the surface, capturing intricate details and accurate colors without emphasizing unwanted surface features like paper grain or canvas weave. It ensures a clean, distortion-free digital file that faithfully represents the original, making it perfect for archival purposes or high-quality reproductions.

Our Fine Art Scanning Process
With exceptionally high standards, we ensure that every scan is colour-matched as closely as possible to the original artwork. We achieve this through our scanning process developed through years of experience handling original artwork.
- We start by handling your original artwork as minimally as possible, ensuring that your artwork is treated with the appropriate care and respect.
- We prepare our scanner for your artwork, ensuring that pieces are secure and flat to prevent distortion.
- We then review and process the scanned file to refine colours and ensure there are no imperfections.
- Following this, we proof print the digital reproduction to confirm our output is accurate to the original piece.
- When picking up your scanned artwork, we provide a colour proof, as well as the full-resolution digital file and a lower resolution file on an included USB flash drive.
