How do you capture the soul of a 600-year-old painting? At SinoInArt, we combine the latest in digital technology with traditional craftsmanship. To create our 1:1 replica of Xu Ben’s Shu Shan Tu, we start with ultra-high-resolution scanning that captures details invisible to the human eye.

Our scanners pick up the texture of the original paper, the subtle cracks in the ancient ink, and the delicate "dry brush" effects that Xu Ben used to depict the rugged rocks of Shu. This level of detail is what allows our replicas to maintain their clarity even at full 1:1 scale.

Once the digital map of the painting is created, we use a specialized ink-delivery system that can replicate the "five colors of ink." This is not a standard CMYK process. Instead, we use multiple shades of black and gray to ensure that the tonal transitions in the mountains are smooth and natural.

This technology is paired with our custom Xuan paper, which is fed through the press with extreme care to maintain the registration of the image. The result is a print that has the depth and vibrancy of a hand-painted work.

SinoInArt is at the intersection of history and innovation. Our Shu Shan Tu replica is a testament to what is possible when modern science is used to serve ancient art, providing a level of fidelity that was previously impossible.
