High Speed Document Scanning:The latest scanning technologies are Dual-Channel and Autocolor scanning. Dual-Channel, allows the device to capture monochrome and color/grayscale simultaneously. Autocolor allows device to detect color content forcing the page to be captured in color based on a user defined threshold. This allows our staff to capture very faint data, signatures and originals with pertinent color content in color dynamically. By utilizing these technologies we are able to guarantee complete data caputure without rescanning. All of the scanners have barcode recognition for document and batch separation, some have color and flatbed capabilities. We maintain fourteen document scanners from Bell & Howell Panasonic and Fujitsu and apply the type of scanner appropriate for the job specifications.

Microfilm Scanning 16mm/35mm:Our Nextscan Microfilm Scanner is the best in the industry at capturing 100% of the image frame. The unit is able to capture both monochrome and grayscale imagery simultaneously for maximum data capture. Since the cost of storage is under $1 per/Gb many of our customers are capturing and publishing both formats. Those with limited server capacity are publishing the monochrome format and archiving the grayscale on DVD. By capturing in grayscale our customers can feel confident that they have captured every bit of data from their microfilm.

Microfilm, Microfiche and Aperture Card Scanning 16mm/35mm:Our Nextscan Flexscan Scanner is coupled with Nextstar Ribbon Scanning Technology to virutally eliminate rescanns and guarantee that each frame is captured as legible as the film. The FlexScan 3 in 1 scanner is designed to offer a complete package for users with rollfilm, microfiche and aperture card scanning requirements. Scan rollfilm up to 220 pages per minute or microfiche up to 125 pages per minute, grayscale or bitonal at the same output speed. Scanned images are sharper with better edge definition because nextScan uses fiberoptics in FlexScan for its light source, eliminating hot spots and uneven lighting. In 2012 we were one of the first service bureause to implement nextScans Batch Feeder assemblys on our units. This allows us to load up to 50 fiche in each unit for processing.

Microfiche Scanning 16mm/35mm/105mm:Our DRS fiche scanner is the only Commercially availalbe scanner of its type in the US. The optics and auto-load fiche transport system makes it superior to every other fiche scanner in the industry. DRS has succesfully navigated the problem with static electricity buildup that has plagued the industry for years. Everyting that touches the fiche is made of wood. The unit can successfully transport thousands of fiche without jamming and the optics produce grayscale images that guarantee complete capture. Other units in the industry offer grayscale but dont have the necessary optics to capture poor quality originals.

flextight.jpg (5000 bytes)

Photo Drum Film Scanning:Our Hasselblad Flextight 949 and our recently acquired X5 are the best technology on the market for producing color accurate, high resolution color imagery from film and reflective material up to 4.7"x6.7". While a full drum scan on our Heildelberg is better quality, the Flextight is more economical as the scan time is twice as fast and loading the film takes only a few seconds compared to minutes on a full drum scan. Our flextight can scan up to 8000dpi optical. We have the slide feeder and the batch feeder options for our unit which allow us to batch up to 50 slides or 10 holders. Each holder can have 6 frames of 35, two 120 frames or one 4x5 for example.

Photographic Slide Scanning: Our Slide Snap Pro is custom designed by the manufacturer to accept the Canon 5D Mark II cameras from our book scanners. We are able to scan very high resolution 35mm slides at rates up to 30 frames per minute. This device is one of the most economical solutions for batch slide film scanning. We worked with the manufacturer to design custom batch separator slides and we can ship empty carousels to customers to reduce the scan cost. This unit will create high quality web imagery and print images for photo quality prints exceeding 5x7 print size.
