Though we specialize in original prints, archival reproductions are a phenomenal alternative. Not only are you getting a rare image at a reduced price, but you also have the capabilities to edit the piece to your specifications. Our cutting edge scanner uses the finest of German optics. Sounds fancy right? The difference is in the focus which allows the Versascan a whopping optical scan resolution of 600 ppi over the entire scanning range at 48-bit color depth. That’s twice what the competition is capable of. The possibilities are endless with our high-end equipment. Check out some of our capabilities below!

There are so many perks to reproducing etchings. Since we are working with lines and not pixels, we can reproduce images at any size!
