Services
Photo Restoration
We specialize in restoring aged or damaged photographs using digital techniques to recover lost details. Our trained technicians repair tears, fading, and color degradation while maintaining original character. Clients receive comprehensively restored images that preserve historical value and personal memories.
Digital Capture
Our high-resolution digital capture process provides accurate reproductions of original artworks using calibrated equipment. This method ensures precise color representation and detail retention for paintings, drawings, and mixed-media pieces. Artists receive digital files ready for printing in various formats.
Photographic Scanning
We convert legacy film formats into digital files including 35mm negatives, 4x5 transparencies, and photographic prints. Our scanning process maintains tonal ranges and image sharpness while allowing for digital enhancement. Clients receive processed files in standard formats for printing or online use.
Fine Art Printing
Using museum-grade materials, we produce durable prints on cotton rag and canvas substrates. Our printers maintain optimal color accuracy across textured surfaces while ensuring archival longevity. Artists receive visually consistent prints suitable for gallery display.
Canvas Stretching
We provide two professional stretching options for canvas prints utilizing kiln-dried stretcher bars. Standard stretching prepares pieces for framing while gallery wraps create finished edges for direct wall hanging. Both options ensure proper tension and presentation durability.

We accept common image formats including TIFF, JPEG, PNG, and PDF for print orders. Clients should provide files at 300 dpi resolution for optimal output quality.
How are print sizes priced?
Prices are calculated based on square inch measurements with volume discounts for multiple prints at the same size. Custom sizes beyond standard options are available upon request.
What photo restoration limitations should I know?
While we can recover significant details, severely damaged or missing image areas may require artistic interpretation. We'll discuss limitations and expectations during initial consultation before work begins.
What media options are available?
We offer glossy, luster, and matte photographic papers alongside cotton rag, canvas, and textured watercolor substrates. Clients can choose from 310g to 430g materials for different display requirements.
How long does scanning take?
Turnaround time varies by format and quantity. Basic 35mm film scanning takes 1-2 business days, while large format transparency scanning with corrections may require additional time based on complexity.
