About our Book Scanning Services
When you ask many companies if they scan books they say – yes. But how do they scan the books. Many times out of sight they use traditional scanners which is harmful to the source material. We do not. We own our very own V platen book scanners, and have built our own proprietary handlers including our own ScanGo™ dynamic pressure conforming cradles, which allowed for optimal project imaging with least stress on these fragile and old books. Let us help you or your Library scan your rare collections.
Client Archival Scanning Case Study – U.S. Federal Court System, U.S. Department of Justice
We completed a historic book scanning project for the U.S. Federal Court’s Library. This project was mostly comprised of restricted historic and old /early /original Statue Sets. A majority of the books are rare ranging from the 1800’s and early/mid 1900’s, and as such could not be unbound. All the project books were scanned on our book scanners. The books ranged from extremely small approximately 3″ H to more regular sized page but with book thicknesses in excess of 6″. We scanned over 250,000 pages for this project, mostly on V-platen book scanners. However with such a diverse range of originals many of which were very fragile, we proceeded with a function over form philosophy making certain to fulfill the defined client objective of OCR effectiveness balanced extremely delicate handling of the rare originals. For examples, for larger books >2500 pages, we used our proprietary scanners that include our own ScanGo™ dynamic pressure conforming cradles, which allowed for optimal project imaging with least stress on these fragile and old books.
Client Archival Scanning Case Study – Oversized Scanning of Large Pattern Designs for Consumer Packaging
A very well know skincare company, approached us to scan some large historic patterns >80″ in very high resolution with a high degree of accuracy required, to use in some of their consumer product packaging. They also needed it in a very strict timeframe. We delivered right when they needed it, and our real satisfaction came — some time later — when our president was in a major retail store and notice, “hey I recognized that”! We’ve now done this a few time for them, as we are one of the few firms setup for such oversized originals.
