Image Colour Space - ProPhoto RGB

A truly massive colour spectrum, much larger than any current output device. This ensures accurate capture of delicate hues and tones in the original artwork.

Bit depth 16bit

Native colour space, normally 8bit for commercial printing.

Professional Schnieder Reproduction Lens

Calibrated to capture a flat plane surface, minimising distortions, and chromatic aberrations. Very high spectral transmittance for a wide wavelength of light to ensure accurate colour.

Polarisation filtration where required

This is needed where the original artwork has a highly reflective surface to remove any possible highlights or reflections that may degrade the final image e.g. varnished oil paintings.

Elinchrom Pro Lighting source

Flat even lighting with digital controlled flash duration, power and stabilised colour temperature. This ensures consistency for every image. The colour temperature is calibrated with industry standard Kodak 18% pure grey target for every session.

Environment - Specialised reproduction studio

This includes air filters to reduce airborne dust to a minimum. Complete darkroom environment to ensure no un-calibrated light reaches the artwork. Solid concrete floor to ensure vibrations do not impact image sharpness.

Digital Sensor

The sensor is optically cleaned for every session to ensure any particles do not show in the final image. ISO 50 is used (rare on a digital sensor) to ensure there are no noise artifacts in the final captured image. All images are captured in RAW format for the widest dynamic range of contrast. The camera characteristics are specifically calibrated to the software environment using custom colour profiles to ensure a consistent colour balance throughout the workflow.
