Our large-format scanner captures what most scanners cannot: estate maps, architectural drawings, paintings, tapestries and fabric art, whole and in full colour.
Maps, plans and drawings too big for an ordinary scanner, captured in one piece.
Maps in several pieces are positioned together with care, so each is captured whole.
Full-colour capture of paintings, tapestries, fabric art, cloth and even wood.
Accurate prints for display or handling, so the original can rest in the archive.
Large-format originals are often the most fragile items in a collection: rolled, folded and handled for centuries. Plans are unrolled and flattened with care before they are scanned.

Maps, estate plans, architectural and engineering drawings, posters, paintings, tapestries and fabric art. If it is large and flat, or can be laid flat safely, ask us.
Yes. We produce printed facsimiles for display, sale or everyday handling.
We will suggest the best way to scan them, with a quote.
