Services
Scanning Services
Hanson Digital provides museum-quality scanning using Phase One IQ4 150mp and Betterlight scanning back systems. Our services include flat artwork digitization up to 120" wide, 3D piece capture, and location-based scanning. We employ polarized lighting to eliminate glare and laser alignment for distortion-free results. Clients receive 16-bit RAW files with optional color correction and background removal, ensuring precise digital reproductions for commercial and fine art applications.
Metal Printing
Our high-definition metal prints use dye-sublimation technology for vibrant, scratch-resistant displays. Available in white or clear base with gloss, semi-gloss, or matte finishes, these prints require no glass framing. We offer sizes up to 40"x60" with in-house framing options, providing durable, UV-protected solutions for galleries, commercial spaces, and private collections.
ICC Profiling
Custom ICC profiles are created using spectrophotometer analysis of client-printed color charts. This ensures accurate color reproduction tailored to specific printer-paper combinations. Services include profile generation for inkjet and archival pigment printing, with turnaround times of 48-72 hours. Profiles enhance color consistency across devices, reducing proofing iterations for professional photographers and print studios.
Archival Pigment Printing
Using Epson Sure Color SC-P20000 printers with UltraChrome Pro inks, we produce archival pigment prints rated for 200-400 years of longevity. Available on Hahnemhle, Canson, and Ilford-certified papers, our prints range from 4"x6" to 64" wide. We offer color calibration, paper testing, and bulk-order discounts, serving artists and galleries requiring museum-standard digital reproductions.
Mounting Solutions
We provide mounting on archival Foamcore, Dibond, aluminum, and plywood substrates. Options include floating cleated frames, acrylic face-mounting, and recessed box frames. Our services ensure dimensional stability for large-format prints, with materials selected for durability and aesthetic presentation in gallery or commercial environments.
