Print Scanning & Digitisation
Prints can include lithographs, engravings, etchings, screenprints, woodcuts and other processes where line, tone and paper are important.
Prints often require detailed capture of fine line work, plate marks, paper tone and colour. The method can be selected between flatbed, wide-format and camera capture according to size and condition.
Print 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.
