Introducing the SMA Versascan 4870
The SMA Versascan 4870 is a large-format flatbed scanning system used for professional artwork digitisation, archives and high-resolution reproduction work.
Unlike standard photography or office scanning, professional artwork scanning is designed to capture the detail, texture and colour of an original artwork with a higher level of accuracy. This helps artists create digital files suitable for print, documentation and professional presentation.
At Gallery 8, this technology will support artists who want to reproduce their work without losing the quality, texture or character of the original piece.
Fine Art Printing Services
Alongside artwork scanning, Gallery 8 will also offer fine art printing services for artists, photographers, collectors and creative businesses.
Our fine art printing service will support artists from digitisation through to print-ready files and premium artwork reproductions. This is ideal for artists wanting to create:
