Degree Packets

Select scanners and settings to capture color and detail accurately for archiving and reproduction.

Flatbed scanners suit delicate originals and small prints while large format scanners or professional services handle posters and canvases. Scan at 300 to 600 dpi for prints and 1200 dpi for fine detail or archival capture. Use color calibration targets and save in TIFF for archival masters and high quality JPEG or PNG for sharing. Keep originals labeled and backed up after scanning.
