about SCANNING SERVICE
Artwork capture is handled with a Hasselblad X2D II medium-format camera using a high-resolution multi-shot process to produce files with higher color accuracy, finer detail, cleaner texture reproduction, and stronger tonal separation than standard scanning methods.
My process is built around controlled lighting, custom color profiling, and accurate focusing — allowing the file to hold up for enlargement and reprints. That means a more accurate master file with higher fidelity to your original artwork.
