Artwork Scan

Artwork scanning: Digitalizing Art on a Large-Format-Cruse-Scanner

 
We scan your painted pictures, paintings, watercolors, drawings, collages, paintings, but also surfaces and decorations such as wood, stone, tiles, sand, leaves, carpets, textiles, screen prints and much more. We use our Cruse scanner to digitize your art in one piece up to A0 format in the highest quality without touching it. Larger formats are also possible on request.
 
A Scan takes 1-3 Days depending on the current internal Order Quantity. If you want to do a Print from it as well; a Testprint will be done first, after giving a Go it'll take another 2-3 Days for a Print (Paper).

Scanning paintings on our Cruse scanner (large format scanner for art, non-contact), digitizing painted pictures in one piece up to A0:

We scan your painted pictures, paintings, watercolors, drawings, collages and paintings. Surfaces and decors such as wood, stone, tiles, sand, leaves, carpets, textiles, screen prints and much more are also possible. Formats from A4 to A0 in one piece, brilliant and gentle in the highest quality.

Our services:

  • Scan in the desired mode (see below for a comparison of the scan modes).
  • on request also in 16 bit at the same price (larger file)
  • color converted to ECI-RGBv2
  • including provision of the file on customer data carrier or via wet transfer

The special features of the Cruse scanner:

  • The main feature of a Cruse scanner: depending on the original and the illumination variant and angle, digitization is possible with or without a clearly visible structure or texture.
  • Cruse scanners are suitable for paintings, drawings, oil paintings, watercolors, tiles, plans, historical documents, surfaces of all kinds
  • Also perfect for digitizing decors such as wood or wall and floor tiles
  • Scan resolution 300 dpi up to A0 size (118.9 x 84.1 cm)
  • this resolution is perfect for 1:1 reproductions and artscans up to 150% magnification
  • maximum size in one piece without division is 122 x 92 cm (in 270 dpi)
  • scanned in several parts larger formats are also possible on request
  • Scanned originals can be up to 20 cm high, with a depth of field of approx. 5 cm
  • Items weighing up to 100 kg can be scanned
  • images in the frame can also be scanned

Further features of the Cruse large format scanner:

  • higher resolution is possible up to 1,000 dpi depending on the original size (see prices)
  • Very good flatness thanks to vacuum feed table (suction of corrugated/curved originals that are not too stiff)
  • non-contact scanning, even for framed originals or for collages and montages
  • Even heavy flat objects such as wall and floor tiles can be scanned
  • absolute precision down to the tenth of a millimeter range
  • Homogeneous illumination over the entire scan width and length
  • True-to-life color reproduction thanks to regularly checked color management
  • only 10 % of the amount of light required by conventional scanners
  • Nearly uv-free cold light, which significantly reduces the surface heating of the template

 

The scan modes of the Cruse scanner in comparison

On a Cruse scanner, various settings are possible for the lighting of the painting, drawing or watercolor to be scanned:

Scans in normal mode: These are illuminated evenly from the left and right. This results in homogeneous illumination, but any raised areas of the image are leveled out. Normal mode is perfect for flat originals, such as drawings, watercolors, but also for paintings on canvas, where you sometimes want to avoid overemphasizing the material surface in structure mode.

Scans in structure mode: These are only illuminated on one side from the left. This scan mode is particularly suitable for scanning paintings with a pasty application of paint. Due to the one-sided illumination, raised areas of the image cast a shadow and thus appear vivid and tangible. The scan also appears sharper overall due to the greater richness of detail. It should be noted that the light should always fall on the painting to be scanned from the left or from above. This means that the original cannot be rotated at will, as this would create unrealistic shadows.

The texture mode: Only illuminated from the left with a special light deflector. This mode emphasizes even the finest structures due to the oblique deflection of the light direction and is therefore suitable for work where every detail is important, e.g. for the decor industry. This texture mode is extremely slow due to the small amount of light used and is therefore also very expensive. For scanning paintings, the texture mode is usually absolutely sufficient for displaying the plasticity.

Scan paintings in higher resolution:

The standard scan resolution is 300 dpi. This is feasible up to an original size of 122 x 85 cm. If we only scan at 270 dpi, a format of 122 x 92 cm can also be scanned in one piece.

A higher scan resolution than 300 dpi is possible for an additional charge. However, this reduces the height of the scanning area.
Examples 400 dpi resolution is only possible up to a maximum scan area height of 63 cm. 600 dpi only works up to a height of 42 cm and 1,000 dpi even reduces the scan area in height to only 25 cm.

A higher scan resolution also somewhat reduces the depth of field within which an object is sufficiently sharp. This is around 3 to 5 cm at 300 dpi. Therefore, the higher the scan resolution beyond 300 dpi, the smaller may be the Height differences of a scan template
