Printing for Artists
At Bollington Printshop, we believe your artwork deserves the same care and attention in reproduction as you gave it in creation. With practising artists as part of our team, we understand the importance of detail, colour accuracy and finish. Our mission is to help you transform your original work into professional-quality prints, merchandise or digital files that represent your vision faithfully.
Fine Art Scanning & Artwork Digitisation
We specialise in high-resolution fine art scanning for artists across Bollington, Cheshire, and beyond. Using a professional A3 flatbed scanner with resolution capacity up to 1200dpi, we can capture fine details, brushstrokes and textures with clarity. For artworks larger than A3, we carefully scan in sections and stitch them together to create a seamless, high-quality image.
Every scan includes a standard colour check, saturation adjustment and white balance correction to ensure an accurate digital copy. For many artists, this is all that’s needed to archive work, share it online, or prepare it for prints.
For those who require a higher level of finish, we also offer enhanced services, such as tonal correction, colour balancing and digital retouching. This option is ideal for artists planning to create limited edition giclée prints or portfolio-ready reproductions.
Giclée Printing & Fine Art Reproduction
Once your artwork is digitised, we can produce archival-quality giclée prints using professional inks and fine art papers. Giclée printing is widely regarded as the gold standard for art reproduction because it offers exceptional colour accuracy, sharp detail and long-lasting results.
We stock a variety of specialist papers and canvas options. Whether you’re producing a limited edition run, selling prints online, or preparing work for an exhibition, we’ll guide you through the best choices for your art.

Frequently Asked Questions
What resolution do you scan at?
We scan up to 1200dpi on our A3 flatbed scanner. For larger artworks, we scan in sections and digitally merge them for a seamless finish. 300dpi is the minimum requirement for printing purposes.
Do you offer colour matching for prints?
Yes. Our basic service includes standard colour checks, while our premium service offers more advanced colour balancing and proofing for giclée printing.
Can I just get a digital file?
Absolutely. Many artists choose scanning only for archiving or online use. Prints can be added later if you decide to create editions.
