Services
Art Scanning
We specialize in high-resolution art scanning using Phase One IQ4 150mp and Betterlight scanning back systems. Our museum-approved lighting ensures accurate color reproduction for flat or textured artwork up to 120" wide. Services include standard RAW captures and fully color-corrected portfolio-ready files with edge-to-edge sharpness. Turnaround ranges from 48 hours for portfolio scans to 1-2 weeks for standard orders.
Metal Printing
Our metal prints use high-definition dye-sublimation technology for durable, scratch-resistant displays up to 40"x60". Available in white or clear base with gloss, semi-gloss, or matte finishes, these prints require no glass framing due to built-in UV protection. We offer in-house framing options and color-matched proofs to ensure consistency with your original artwork.
Gicle 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 fine art papers, canvas, or photo stocks in sizes up to 64" wide, our Gicle prints maintain exceptional detail and color fidelity. Custom ICC profiling ensures accurate color matching for both small and large-format projects.
ICC Profiling
We create custom ICC profiles tailored to your specific printer and paper combinations. Using spectrophotometer measurements from printed color charts, our profiles enhance color accuracy and consistency. This service supports inkjet and archival pigment workflows, helping align screen previews with final print outputs for professional photographers and artists.
Contract Proofing
Our G7-certified contract proofing services ensure color accuracy for press-ready projects. We output proofs with 2 Delta E precision and provide verification documentation. These proofs serve as final press references when working with G7-certified printers, guaranteeing color consistency across large-format or high-volume print runs.

The team at Hanson Digital was amazing to work with. They quickly responded to and helped me understand my projects photography needs and were able to adjust a few items along the way that really helped me improve the quality of the final work. Everyone should work with them!

I wanted to take some printouts of digital Procreate artwork that I recently purchased. Im so glad I approached Hanson Digital. I got such expert advice and help from Hunter, who works there. Im amazed at the final digitally printed work Hunter made for me, because it captured the clarity and colors beautifully! This is going to be my go-to-place for digital printing for all future artwork!

I came to Mark and his team to digitize / professionally photograph around 300 photographs from the 1960s. They did an outstanding job! Mark brings a level of expertise, creativity, and genuine investment to people's projects that is fantastic, and I will certainly come to him if I ever need any other photograph work done. I highly recommend him and his team at Hanson Digital!
