Services
Fine Art Printing
Our fine art printing service uses archival pigment inks and premium papers like Hahnemhle PhotoRag to create gallery-quality reproductions. We offer matte, gloss, and metallic paper options with color calibration for perfect accuracy. Each print undergoes quality checks before delivery.
Metal Prints
HD metal prints use dye-infusion technology on aluminum for vibrant, scratch-resistant displays. Available in multiple finishes including brushed aluminum and gloss white. These lightweight, durable prints require no framing and resist moisture and fading.
Canvas Wraps
Gallery-wrapped canvas prints feature hand-stretched 450gsm Breathing Color Lyve canvas with UV protective varnish. We offer mirror/white/black wrap options and depths up to 2 inches. All prints include hanging hardware for immediate display.
Artwork Scanning
Our proprietary gigapixel scanning system captures artwork with perfect color accuracy up to 10 feet in any dimension. Specialized techniques handle metallic paints and textured surfaces. We provide test prints for color approval before final production.
Acrylic Face-Mounts
TruLife acrylic face-mounts offer anti-reflective, UV-protected displays with 98% light transmission. Available with aluminum or Sintra backing in multiple thicknesses. Each mount includes a recessed back-frame for easy hanging and professional presentation.

Scale Up is professional, efficient and excellent quality. They designed, printed and shipped a wedding photo on metal for us that arrived 5 DAYS after we tied the knot! How is that even possible?? If you're in a pinch or looking for a reliable partner in designing, choosing and framing your dream art around your home or business- ScaleUp is bae. We most certainly will be using ScaleUp for all of our printing needs

I had an amazing experience with the team at Scale Up Fine Art Printing from start to finish! I was assisted by John-Paul who recommended their Hahnemuhel German Etching paper type for printing my watercolor artwork. I was blown away by the quality and texture of this paper- which is very similar to my Arches cotton watercolor paper (heavy and slightly rough) - at a very affordable price! As a nice touch they even individually packaged my prints in plastic sheets for easy pickup! I highly recommend this shop for anybody looking for professional quality prints.

Dropped off a Scale Up Art Fine Art Printing pickup for a return and Tom gave me the run down on all their services. Wow! Very professional, Scale Up Art Fine Art Printing and friendly. Why are most CA shipping centers so surly? They should be like Tom. I will be going here from now on for all my dipping needs. I may even rent the flexible work spaces if we have visitors staying in our guest bedroom/office and I will definitely use their secure ship to feature for $1.50 per pkg so things aren't left on my doorstep.
