Flatbed & Book scanners from Allied Images

Flatbed Scanners

Flatbed scanners are vital for capturing documents that are unsuitable for sheet fed scanners such as fabrics, fine art, fragile originals, books, bound documents and materials thicker than 20 mm. All such originals must be placed on a glass or platen and the scanners moved across them.

Allied Images has supplied flatbed scanners to:

	art galleries
	fine arts companies
	libraries and
	legal practices.

Art galleries and fine art companies typically scan original works of art to create high-quality giclee prints for resale. This requires the use of reprographic software that allows colour calibration of the scanner/printer combination to ensure colour replication. Libraries use flatbed/book scanners to record old and rare books while legal practices frequently have documents bound in bundles that cannot be separated. Neither of these types of documents can go through sheet fed scanners.

Flatbed scanners are necessarily specialist low-volume items and require expertise to specify and install. Allied has the experience and skill sets required to create a solution tailored to your needs.
