Allied Images to exhibit at Society of Archivists Conference, Ramada Manchester Piccadilly Hotel, 1st-3rd September 2010

Allied Images, UK and Ireland distributor for Atiz book scanners, is to exhibit at Society of Archivists Conference in Manchester.  The conference, held annually, is an ideal forum to exhibit BookDrive Pro book scanneras it solves all the problems found in conventional book scanners including page curvature, damage to the book spine and low productivity.

BookDrive uses a different approach called a V-shaped solution where a V-shaped glass and book cradle hold the book open at a non-stressful angle for scanning by high-speed, high-resolution digital SLR cameras.  This unique design guarantees sharp, curvature-free images in every scan and a high capture rate of up to 800 pages per hour.  These give high OCR success rates of over 99%.  BookDrive Pro supports a maximum scanning area of 16.5" x 24.2" or an A3 size page. 

Allied Images will also show Plustek OpticBook A300 a low cost book scanning solution.  OpticBook A300 scans thick books without unbinding or dismantling them, so it is a perfect solution for digitising precious books from the vertical market perspective.  OpticBook is an ideal solution for libraries, schools, graphic designers, publishing companies, hospitals, law firms and even financial institutions.  OpticBook A300 can scan up to an A3 size page in 2.4 seconds.
