Industrial kit, gentle hands
The right scanner for every original: non-contact book scanners, a large-format colour scanner, production scanners for volume, and the tools to repair what is damaged.
What does the work
- 01
Non-contact book scanning
i2s DigiBook overhead scanners
Books and registers are scanned from above, open in a cradle, so nothing presses on the page. The lighting does the original no harm, which is why fragile and rare books come to us.

- Spine-safe book cradles
- Non-destructive lighting
- Registers scanned without cutting
