MAKE-READY CHARACTERISTICS
Scanning art rarely requires Make-Ready services.
However, flat art having any of these characteristics may require “make-ready”
preparation and extra time, especially when copying with photographic film.
-
Glass covered,
metallic or highly reflective.
-
Masking required
on the surface to crop out unwanted areas.
-
Defects or
embedded debris.
-
Heavy textures
and deep relief
-
Overlays.
-
Unusually high
or low contrast.
-
Fabrics or
unusual textures.
-
Arranging
several pieces into one shot.
-
Wet, unfixed or
otherwise easily smeared colors.
-
Multiple panel
art.
-
Oversize art not
prepared for hanging flat.
-
Oversize, very
heavy or very deep frames.
-
Books that won’t
lay flat
-
Artwork too
delicate to withstand careful routine handling.
-
Special
Materials required for masking, backgrounds, etc.
EXAMPLES of art that requires
“MAKE-READY” service:
-
An unframed 24x36 oil painting
that can be photographed with the stand-ard copy board background or a
simple black background is “camera-ready.” If the painting requires
masking of the art surface to crop out a section, the masking is an extra
cost “make-ready” step that requires approval before work begins.
-
A photo that can be copied from
a book with simple in-camera cropping is “camera-ready” if the book is of
a manageable size and shape and lays flat. If the book is difficult to
make flat (for whatever reason) or we must place custom masks on the page
before copying, “make-ready” services are required.
