We deliver to every client long-lasting and accurate colour matching, without fading or bleeding, using an eleven inkset. Our system is ideal for photographic prints, limited edition prints or exhibitions.

The regular papers we use are; Crane, Hahnemhle, Ilford, and Canson in smooth, textured, gloss or matte, and canvas.Our fine art papers are 100% cotton rag, natural finish, acid free and only archival when pigment inks are used. 

We match all our digital papers to traditional artist and darkroom papers to ensure an authentic reproduction. 

Our sizes range from postage stamp to up to 1.1m wide for custom sizes, or A6 to A0+ and full artists sheets. 

Who is handling your artwork?

COLOUR MANAGEMENT

Following the digital capture, each file produced is  cleaned, colour matched to the original artwork and formatted to your requirements. 

ACME offers a complete retouching service, from dust removal to major manipulation and restoration from prints and negatives.

All digital files are archived on location and externally to ensure artist's files are accessible at anytime and are kept safe.

And the best part? It's all part of our scanning fee.
