Large Format Scanning
Converting your large or oversize print materials into a searchable digital archive preserves them, makes them easily accessible, and frees up tons of storage space.
Large format items such as blueprints, maps, and senior class panels can quickly take up massive amounts of storage space. They can also be cumbersome and inconvenient to access or share. These items are also particularly susceptible to damage due to the difficulty in handling them. Digitizing your large format items makes them easy to access and view right from your computer without taking up physical storage space and without fear of damage. Many large format items also have historical significance, and digitizing them is an important part of historical preservation. Act now to preserve and protect your large format items and the important materials they contain.
