Fine Art Scanning

This large-format, overhead scanner is ideal for scanning objects that cannot wrap around a drum or for those that are too large for desktop, flatbed scanners. It is also perfect for scanning antique or fragile objects since nothing touches the item being scanned, which is a wonderful advantage over other large-format scanners.

The color accuracy is far superior to that of desktop devices. The possible resolution far exceeds any digital camera or scan-back capture device. Plus, the resulting scan has a size/resolution ratio of 1:1, exactly the same size as the original. As with all of our imaging products, we provide not just a scan, but a color-accurate digital image with a proof.

The lighting method utilized by the CRUSE scanner eliminates lens flare and light fall-off that plagues a photographic approach. Also available is a 3-D or texture mode that preserves any variation in thickness in the surface of the original, such as brushstrokes.

We regularly scan items, such as paintings, drawings, maps, signs, posters, oversized photos, and even building materials, such as floor tiles and roofing. Our CRUSE scanner can scan or digitize nearly anything up to 60″ x 90″ x 4″.
