No doubt most of you will already be familiar with some or all of these terms, but it’s important that they are all taken into consideration. CMYK Colours – Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black.Some terms you should make yourself familiar with before you buy a scanner
Dealing with with large scale work, or work with textureĪll of these things will also be affected by the quality of the scanner you are using as well.Scanning the correct pixel density or choosing pixel count.There are a lot of other important considerations when scanning something for art reproduction. It is! But that is if your artwork is in a size that fits the scanner, is completely flat and that everything is set to the correct settings. It’s usually very accurate (depending on your scanner) and prevents the artwork reproduction from being degraded by outside influences such as lighting, shadows or distortion caused by lenses.īut I thought scanning is just clicking a button? Scanning is a relatively simpler process that does not require as much extra equipment like extra, lenses, cameras and lights. Why should I scan instead of photograph an artwork? However, if you are working anything above A2 in size, or if you are not comfortable with the digital process of “stitching” artwork together (which I will go into later) I would highly suggest that you instead photograph the artwork! You can check out my guide to that here. Most scanners have a glass scanning pane slightly larger than A4 but that’s not to say you can’t scan larger artworks. Unless you want throw down some serious cash for a large format scanner (ie for artworks larger than A3 in size), scanning is generally best for a smaller “flat” artworks ie works on paper with little texture.
