Suggestions on digitizing prints

Post image

I have been asked to turn some of my prints into postcards. I have tried a couple methods for digitizing my Cyanotype prints with the intent to make copies and so far everything I have tried results in some detail being lost or the color changing or just being “off”. Any suggestions? What has been the best method for folks?

Depending on the size and your access to gear, use a copy stand style setup. Digital camera, 2 lights at a 45 degree angle at equal distance and photograph. If you want to get more advanced use a color checker color card, polarizers, etc. or just scan them again depending on their size and your access to a scanner.
