artist led scanning, printing & DIGITISATION
At Gallery 8, your artwork is handled by technicians who are artists themselves. Danny is also formally trained in art restoration from one of the best art Academies in Italy, bringing a specialist eye for preservation, colour, texture and detail to every scan.
Our museum-grade archival scans are produced at 600dpi, capturing brushstroke texture, colour depth and fine detail that a phone or camera simply cannot reproduce.
