Documents Saved from Oblivion!
4 Sep, 2014
The loss of paper is happening every moment of every day, and it’s only a matter of time before critical documents are gone.
In 2009, ShoreScan Solutions was started to address the ever-changing industry of digital document archives. Partnering with a national document-storage host specializing in state-of-the art databases, mobile applications, and working with Paradigm Imaging Group to obtain the most technologically advanced scanner in the market, ShoreScan brings a completely different approach to a problem everyone is looking to solve.
The town elected to use ShoreScan’s Colortrac SmartLF SC42 wide-format scanner to help them correct the problem. By using some image enhancements and cropping utilizing the Colortrac SmartWorks Pro software, the scanned image is not only a great reproduction of the original, but saved from further damage.
Another vital project was recently completed for the town of North Beach, whose aging water plans were scanned and digitized for secure storage and easy retrieval. North Beach Public Works and Ken Carlsen worked together to finish the scanning of over 1,100 pages of plans in eight days on-site by using the Colortrac SmartLF SC42 wide format scanner.
Superfast Performance
The Colortrac SmartLF SC Xpress scanner series boosts performance and provides reliable, as well as affordable, scanning with a fast return on investment. This superfast Series comes with proven SingleSensor technology, a Colortrac invention that combines CIS elements and LEDs in a single line for maximum scan accuracy and optimal illumination. With this and a variety of simple, intuitive software options, SmartLF SC Xpress allows you to get the right image first time. It is the right choice for all technical documents and maps, creating high quality scans of wide format maps, engineering drawings, blueprints and many other technical documents.
To simplify large archive jobs, the Colortrac SmartWorks Pro software platform provides three discrete applications in one package - Scan, Copier, Scan & Copy together, suiting the requirements of both the occasional and professional user. Using a Mouse or Touch Screen enabled displays, the intuitive Graphical User Interface guides you quickly through the Scan-once workflow, making rapid changes in real-time to the image quality if required. SmartWorks Pro also helps manage the scanned images by using the SmartWorks Pro Multi Page Document Manager, which allows the operator to combine large and differing scan file types into a single TIFF or PDF file.
