Old books or newspapers are usually displayed in glass cabinets to preserve their quality, but this limits the amount of people who can observe them.

Non-destructive book scanning

 

Non-destructive bound book scanning provides accurate digitisation of your valuable books without causing damage to the original.

We utilize a special book scanning one shot technology, that allows us to digitise the complete books while keeping them intact. This delicate process is extremely precise and accurate. Our book scanners produce crisp, clear, bright images of the original pages and corrects most of curved page deformation produced by the book’s binding. We utilize a software package that can restore text for faded or hard-to-read sections of the text, and we can erase signs of dirt or smudges that may appear on the original pages.

Non-destructive book scanning is a more detailed method and does cost more than destructive book scanning. However, the most crucial element of this digitisation process is that your books will be returned to you in the same way as when we first received them.

Destructive book scanning

 

Destructive book scanning is a less costly option that will eliminate book’s integrity in return providing a complete content as a great digital copy.

This type of book scanning is typically done for books that require to be converted into digital format when the owner does not require the original book back or is pleased with the loose pages which can later be re-bound.

This is a more cost-effective approach to book scanning, but still yields the same quality scanned images.

With this method, our professional technicians disassemble the book binding so that the flat pages can be digitised using the best scanner for image capture scanning.

You will receive a  digitised book with superior image quality.
