| High-Resolution Digital Capture |
Calibration for image control
Our large format, high-resolution digital camera will accurately capture your artwork as digital
files. The camera and software are calibrated to render a precise and highly detailed image of your artwork. Unlike
film capture of the past, where you would try to force a particular film to work, we have a great deal of
control over the image.
