FAQ – Frequently asked questions

Is my reproduction still being processed by you?

  • A scan/reproduction produced by us is compared with the supplied original in such a way that it comes as close as possible to the original in terms of color and appearance. Depending on the process, this is done, for example, by measurement or KODAK color chart (KODAK Color Patches and KODAK Gray Scale).
  • Further post-production, which intervenes in individual details or includes retouching or partial restoration, can be carried out additionally and by arrangement.
  • The reproduction file is compared with the original under D50 standard light (5,000 K) on a calibrated monitor.
  • Coordination for printing: We simulate the paper to be printed on later on a calibrated monitor (soft proof). The file is adjusted using the paper profile so that the maximum possible match is achieved in terms of color, contrast and detail reproduction.
  • The aim is to create the illusion for viewers of the printed image that they are standing in front of the original.
