Large Format Scanners

Standalone Scanners

Contex, Vidar and Fujitsu offer a wide range of standalone scanners that will meet many wide format scanning needs. Color and monochrome documents and drawings can be easily captured for digital archival storage, easy drawing reference or revision/editing purposes. Today's scanners simplify the process with many user-friendly features. New technology also allows documents of up to 0.6" thick and 50" wide to be scanned in full color.
