I Scanned My Art With a Cheap vs Expensive Scanner

[@IvyLilyCreative]

Bit of a late upload (it's 10 pm for me), because I went to scan the last batch of paintings for this video just yesterday and still had to write, record, film and edit for the video after that. And the reason I put it off 'till yesterday was because I had to finish one more painting I wanted to scan. It's been a busy week, but I got it all done. I tried to find photos online of the scanner or the scanning area at the library (Oodi in Helsinki) to make up for the fact that I couldn't take my own photos, but they literally don't have any photos of it. Is it better to photograph or scan your art? → kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZpPaZ3Ztr7Jmj8U How to scan buckled watercolor paintings without a fine art scanner? → kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5Caqq1vfayYibM

A university nearby has a fine art print shop as part of their visual art college which the public can use. I have my work scanned their on a good art scanner and they also make high-quality giclee prints.

Just wanted to say that your thumbnail is really great. I normally don't click on videos with low views because the quality tends to be lower, but you definetly proved me wrong :D

That is super interesting. Thank you for testing and showing to us! 😇

I looked at art scanners before...I tend to photograph some of the larger things. I never thought of checking if the library has one available for use :) I'll have to check that out.

When I was first looking into it, it seemed the libraries near me only have A3 document scanners that probably do worse quality scans than my own A4 scanner. But this library, where I found the art scanner, is a kind of a special one. They have all kinds of things from sewing machines to 3D printing and recording studios that you can reserve. Some are free and some are paid.
