Why Do You Need Our Small or Large Document Scanning Service?
We'll tailor a customized scanning services schedule to meet your needs. If you need help designing your scanning and indexing, ask our scanning solutions experts. We have years experience!
We'll scan, index and archive your documents with our large document scanning service in one process, and customize the number and length of searchable fields. Not only will all of your documents be scanned and on your computer, but you'll be able to find them! The database we compile is ODBC Compliant, so the data can be exported to many different formats including spreadsheets, other database programs including Microsoft Access, PDM programs and EDMS (Engineering Document Management Programs)
Special services include clean up of background noise on older drawings, rotation of the image for best viewing, background suppression & deskewing of documents. We can create multi-page tiff files and PDF files for the Internet. Drawings can be scanned to many different file formats, and at whatever dpi is necessary.
To keep the cost of large format scanning low we simply ask that all documents be scanner ready. That means all documents must be free of all tape and staples. We typically charge by the square foot and pricing is dependent on the following items:
- The number of indexing fields your company needs. Two indexing fields are included in the price we quote to you. There is an additional charge for each extra field above that amount.
- The quality of the original is an important factor…the better the original, the lower the cost. Very old Mylar’s and sepias with fragile edges take more time to scan to ensure best image quality.
- In certain cases, we will build a Mylar carrier to protect your drawings if necessary. This requires a small additional cost.
- If your organization has pressing deadline, for a little added cost WE stand ready to meet your needs. We have ample trained staff that can work around the clock if necessary to meet your organization's scanning needs.
The time involved to complete your scanning project is determined by the number of documents, complexity and the condition of your drawings. Also to speed service, several scanners handling different types of drawings can be utilized for your project.
