Flatbed Scanners

Large Format Flatbed Scanners
Large format flatbed scanners are a great solution for a wide variety of documents. The thickness of the document is not a concern, as documents are scanned on the bed of the device. The scanner doesn’t do any damage to the documents either, allowing fragile and brittle items like newspapers, historical documents, and magazines to be scanned. These scanners also have a very wide color gamut and high optical resolution, making them a perfect solution for photos, maps, and graphic artwork.

FAQs
What is V3D Technology?
V3D stands for visual 3D, and is a feature of the SMA Versascan flatbed scanner series. This is a new technology that produces results that look 3D. Different lighting scenarios is the base for the process, where one area of the object is being lit by several different lighting angles, and the scanner captures those different instances. The software within the scanner then combines the separate images into one master image. As a result, paintings and other artwork that are scanned using the V3D technology offers almost perfect reproduction of nearly any surface.
