Flatbed Scans

Black and white painting with red crosses.

Flatbed scanning a painting by Ed Moses

Our flatbed scanner is the WideTEKยฎ 36 ART, a contact-free scanner explicitly designed for delicate & textured media. It can digitize oil or acrylic paintings, watercolors, mixed media collages, charcoal, and pastel drawings at 300 or 600 DPI from artworks up to 36โ€ณ x 60โ€ณ in size.

 

โ€œWhich resolution do I need?โ€

That depends on how you plan to use your scanned file. Hereโ€™s a quick guide to help you decide:

Web Resolution

Need images for your website? 72 ppi should be good to go.

Print Resolution // 300 ppi

Most of the time, 300 ppi is best for printing purposes.

Hi-Resolution // 600 ppi

Do you need to enlarge your image beyond its actual size? If so, this option may be best.

Epic Hi-Res // 1200 ppi

Need something small to be blown up extra large?
