Fine Art Printing Services


Printing

Our printing service goes beyond typical ‘print on demand’ offerings. We operate as a collaborative studio, actively engaging with you throughout the entire process of preparing and printing your files.

Our studio boasts top-of-the-line Epson 64” (1625mm) wide printers, Eizo ColorEdge monitors, precise and industry standard print viewing lighting and the finest papers available.

We only use reputable papers that have been tested, rated, and, most importantly, meet our high standards. We pay particular attention to longevity and durability when recommending the paper type for your project. Additionally, because we understand that papers have a profound influence on the final image, we work closely with each client in selecting the correct paper for each project from the wide range we offer. Besides fine art papers, we also offer a range of specialty materials such as handmade Japanese papers, rice papers, and wallpaper.

Recognised for our unwavering dedication to exacting production and quality control standards, Final Grade is proud to be a part of both the Canson and Hahnemühle Certified Master Printer programs. Our commitment to excellence extends beyond conventional boundaries as we embrace non-traditional media, constantly pushing the limits of what can be achieved digitally.

Consultation and Collaboration

At Final Grade, we don’t just offer a service; we build enduring partnerships. With over 30 years of industry experience, our consultation services are tailored to help you unlock the full potential of your artwork. 

Collaboration is at the heart of what we do. From pre-production advice, initial concepts to final output, we work closely with you to navigate the complexities of the creative and technical processes. We listen, advise, and guide—ensuring that every decision supports your goals and brings your vision to life.

We are your dedicated partners, guiding you through every step of the process.

Imaging

Digitisation Services

For those working with film or digitising their archives, we offer a range of high-end film scanning services.

DSLR Scanning

This system digitises any type of photographic film, ranging from microfilm to 8×10’ sheet film, with exceptional high resolution. It incorporates a cutting-edge digital camera to create non-interpolated 240-megapixel RAW captures, boasting an impressive 1.35-gigabyte 16-bit RGB file size at 12672x19008px.

At the core of the system is a Sony A7r5 mounted with a specialised flat field lens designed to capture film. The film being digitized is illuminated using a state-of-the-art LED lighting system, delivering an exceptional Colour Rendering Index (CRI) and Colour Quality Index (CQI) of 98 out of 100. This ensures unparalleled color accuracy and fidelity, preserving every nuance of the original.

This system, coupled with our dedicated experience and skillset, delivers results that surpass even the most popular CCD scanner on the professional market: the Hasselblad/Imacon.

Imacon Flextight 848 scanner

The Imacon Flextight 848 scanner is the ultimate in dedicated film scanner technology, with clarity and sharpness to match near drum scan quality files. The Imacon Flextight 848 scanner has a dynamic range of up to 4.8 and a maximum non-interpolated optical resolution of 8000 dpi for 135mm, 3200 dpi for 120 film and +2000 dpi for 4×5 film, ensuring your colour negatives, black & white negatives, and transparencies are scanned for optimal quality.

High quality scanning requires more than expensive technology and is a technical art-form and, importantly, requires expertise in the most effective scanning techniques. With over 15 years of scanning experience, we ensure the finest photographic detail is captured and reproduced faithfully.

Copy and Reproduction Services

We specialise in high-resolution art capture and reproduction, working with artists across painting, drawing, watercolour, pen and ink, illustration, collage, and mixed media. Our fully equipped, purpose-built photography studio ensures your artwork is digitised with precision, perfect for fine art prints, catalogues, invitations, and archival records.

Using cutting-edge 240-megapixel digital technology, we produce non-interpolated captures at an impressive 12672x19008px resolution. Each file is meticulously colour-matched to preserve every detail and nuance of your original piece, ensuring the highest quality reproductions for both display and print.

In addition to fine art reproductions, we offer portfolio digitisation services, helping artists create digital archives of their work. Whether you’re preparing for an exhibition or preserving your creative legacy, our services ensure your artwork is captured and reproduced with unparalleled accuracy.
