/ Non-Destructive and Destructive Book Scanning
Microform offers both non-destructive and destructive book scanning services, providing flexible solutions to meet the unique preservation needs of each client. Our non-destructive scanning is designed to safeguard the physical structure of rare, valuable, or fragile books, carefully capturing each page without compromising the binding. This method is ideal for historical texts, archival collections, and any book that must remain intact.
For projects where the primary goal is efficient, high-quality digitisation over physical preservation, our destructive scanning option removes the binding. This approach allows for faster, more cost-effective scanning of high-volume collections, duplicates, or books without preservation requirements. Both scanning methods produce high-resolution digital replicas that preserve every detail of the original pages, offering a seamless way to protect and access valuable content in digital formats.
With Microform’s non-destructive and destructive book scanning options, you can choose the approach that best fits your needs, whether preserving the integrity of rare volumes or prioritising efficient digitisation. Both methods ensure high-quality digital copies, making your collection accessible, searchable, and ready for the future. get in touch today.
