The Path to Fidelity

For originals larger than A3, every capture takes place in our controlled studio environment using the medium-format Fujifilm GFX100s II (102MP) — technology designed to reveal detail and colour that lesser systems miss.

What sets it apart:

Unrivalled detail — delivered files typically range between 60–80MP, with Pixel Shift captures reaching up to 400MP.
True-to-original — 16-bit files, meticulously calibrated for colour accuracy.
Certified advantage — the only Fine Art print studio in Portugal with dual Canson® and Hahnemühle® certification, equipped with this system.

Every file leaves our studio ready for print and archive — the strongest foundation for preserving and reproducing your work to museum standard.

Who is this for?

Artists & Illustrators

Build a reliable archive of your work for future editions, or create faithful files for portfolios and promotion.

Galleries & Museums

Document collections with museum-standard fidelity, ready for catalogues and exhibitions.

Collectors

Safeguard artworks with archival files that preserve their value and legacy.

Publishers & Agencies

Obtain high-resolution imagery for books, catalogues, or campaigns. And for artists who want to see their work in print, this is the essential first step toward flawless giclée editions.

Because once an artwork is faithfully captured, it can live everywhere — in print, in archive, in catalogues, and online.

What You’ll Get

Every capture comes with:
• A 16-bit TIFF screen-matched print-ready master file

Depending on the service tier you choose, you may also receive:
• Soft-proofed file with refinements, margins & sizing (Edition Ready).
• Iteratively tested and print-matched files, validated under controlled light (Museum Match).

Optional extras (on request):
• Web-optimised versions (JPEG, sRGB).
• CMYK conversions for catalogues or press.

Scanning — Flatbed System

We scan artworks up to A3 using high-resolution professional flatbed scanners. Each file is carefully colour-corrected to match the original as faithfully as possible. For more involved edits — such as dust removal, background cleanup, or restoration — additional time is charged hourly.

In most cases, only minor colour adjustments are needed, and these are included in the base price.
