Leadership in large size images

Scala is able to supply images in formats large enough for mural size printing. Detail enlargements are possible up to several times the original size without loosing sharpness of details. The large majority of Scala's fine arts images are large-size transparencies (10x12 cm, 13 x 18 cm, 20 x 25 cm), the digital files are subsequently heavy.







Scala's digital images, with embedded IPTC information (caption and copyright), are usually supplied in the following formats:
 
Low-resolution JPEG files, from 72 to 200 dpi:
180x180 pixels: small;
600x600 pixels: medium. Can be delivered by e-mail protected by our logo and a watermark. Suitable for layouts;
1100x1100 pixels: large. Suitable for multimedia use where detail is required (zoom), and for ¼-page prints (9x6 cm).


High-resolution TIFF and JPEG files for printing on paper:
The image is acquired at 1000 dpi and usually reduced to 300 dpi to meet average printing requirements. The size of the file varies from 3 to 400 MB;
High-resolution (RGB) TIFF files are delivered on CD-ROM, through File Transfer Protocol (FTP), or http as A4 at 300 dpi, unless otherwise specified;
The files above can be compressed as JPEGs and delivered by e-mail, through File Transfer Protocol (FTP), or http.

Please Note: On our website, the largest images are 600x600 pixels. The images are protected by both visible and invisible watermark. Watermarks are traceable, and unauthorized use constitutes an enforceable infringement of copyright laws.
