What we do - for the home or for work
Art Reproduction
Our professional wide format scanning and printing service is ideal for photographers and artists as we can print on a wide range of media and will create an exact replication of your art work. Not only will you have a digital backup, you will be able to offer limited edition prints of your master piece, which only increase the value of your work.
As we scan and print on site, we are able to create any size print from any size piece. If you are not totally convinced your art would get the justice it deserves, we are happy to produce a test print prior to payment, as we guarantee our work is nothing but excellent! We treat each image as if it were the only image. We prepare and inspect each image for print individually. No two pieces are ever the same so they shouldn’t be treated the same when it comes to reproducing. To get the very best printed reproduction you need a “digital darkroom” to fine tune each image so that
sunsets look more vibrant, skin tones more natural and colours more realistic thats where we make a difference.
We are the proud owners of a custom-built large format scanning bed. This allows us to scan artwork up to 1.5mx2m in size at a resolution of up to 2400dpi. We utilise the X-Rite i1 Colour Management system throughout the workflow to achieve a high level of colour accuracy from start to finish.
The scanner is calibrated daily with a reference target; the cameras are shown photographic targets in every new lighting environment; the monitors are checked at intervals with a calibration device. We have all the calibration equipment in-house, so we can manage our colour quickly, but we outsource the profiling of our printers so the quality of our final output is independently verified.
We favour the Hahnemühle brand of paper. It has proven itself to perform consistently and predictably. Custom ICC profiles made for all our printershelp maintain uniform results from 6×4″ up to A0 size.

Tape to DVD Transfer
VHS, Hi8, VHSc, Mini DV and Cine film can be converted onto DVD on site, so there is no risk of losing your tapes in the post. We can convert in real time, and guarantee that we will revive your memories for you to cherish for many years to come.
Vehicle Graphics
Printed graphics and cut lettering on your car, van, truck or lorry, everything is printed and cut in-house and applied by us. A line drawing of your vehicle with designs on, often does not replicate well once applied, hence we will superimpose all design ideas onto a digital photo of your vehicle for a real-life example prior to approval and payment.
