Gold Coast's Fine Art Printing & Scanning Studio.
We offer professional artwork scanning for artists, specialising in high-resolution digitisation of original artworks for fine art printing, archival documentation, and reproduction. Our process is designed to carefully capture colour, texture, and detail while ensuring the safe handling of original works.
When creating prints from your original artwork, it's imperative to start with an exceptional file. That's where we come in. We scan your original artwork at a true optical resolution of 600 pixels per inch, this enables your art to be enlarged up to four times its original size.

Our team approaches every artwork with care, precision, and respect, ensuring each scan captures the colour, texture, and detail of the original as accurate as possible.
All artworks are handled carefully throughout the process, and our equipment is professionally calibrated to deliver high-resolution files suitable for both archival and reproduction
purposes.
Our artwork scanning service is commonly used for:
- Fine art print reproduction
- Archival records of original works
- Licensing and edition production

Specialists in fine art reproduction — not just scanning.
We Sell Prints has been reproducing original artworks for artists across Australia for years. We've handled oil paintings, delicate watercolours, textured acrylics, pencil works, mixed media pieces — everything.
What makes us different isn't just our equipment. It's that we understand where the file is going. We print fine art Giclée every single day, on the same papers you'll be printing on. We know exactly what a file needs to look exceptional when it hits paper — because we see the results.
A scanning service with no printing experience is guessing. We're not guessing.
Every person in our studio is a qualified graphic designer. Graphic designers are trained in colour theory, colour profiling, accuracy and the kind of obsessive attention to detail that fine art reproduction demands — it's not a peripheral skill, it's the foundation of everything we do. Between our team we have over 50 years of design experience and a decade specialising in fine art reproduction. Many of us are artists ourselves, so when your artwork comes through our door, it's handled by people who understand not just the technical side of colour and reproduction, but why getting it right matters to you as an artist.
