Poster Scanning & Digitisation
Posters can be large, fragile and richly coloured, making them an ideal application for specialist wide-format or camera capture.
Large posters may not fit conventional flatbeds. A WideTEK 36 ART or reprographic camera workflow can be considered according to the poster's condition, surface and size.
Poster digitisation
The capture method should be selected around the original object, its condition and the purpose of the digital master. Suitable material may be captured with a WideTEK 36 ART, reprographic camera system or flatbed solution, while delicate, oversized or surface-sensitive work may require a non-contact approach.
