A high-end Seattle "pre-press" color lab shoots 4x5 positive transparencies of my paintings for me for $30 each. If I ask they will put color bars and a grey scale on these "copy trans" photos for no charge.
I can also get them to do an 80 MB digital scan for $80. These scans would be used to make a full size (say, 24 x 36") giclee on canvas if I ever wanted my own copy of a painting for a show. Making the giclee from the scan costs a bunch more, though, but at least I have the scan before the painting goes out of state or out of the country to the commissioning client!
