Due to the ability of the IR scanner to produce high resolution reflectograms having both a high definition of the finest details and a wide range of grey shades, it is now possible to obtain high quality prints of the reflectograms in natural scale by using ink-jet printers or plotters.

These reproductions allows the IR image of the painting to be seen as a whole, an optimal working condition for art historians and restorers.

Thanks to a collaboration between our Institute, the Opificio delle Pietre Dure and the firm Falcon Instruments, the commercial version of the IR scanner is currently being built. previous page      IR Riflettography
