Colortrac 24120 Product Sales Guide 8
Archiving Businesses is another area where the flatbed can be extremely useful because it
can scan any shape of original. Book scanners are a scanning development designed to cope
with bound paper. These scanners can scan flat objects like posters and maps but all models
have some sort of edge restraint and cannot take big items. Book scanners which use external
illumination are also very susceptible to room lighting levels and often special conditions need to
be made available for these machines. This is not the case with the Colortrac Flatbed 24120
scanner.
Areas of flatbed opportunity within this category are Art Galleries, and Museums, the study of
Antiquities and also archiving within central government. Other markets may exist in the
military, textiles and utilities industries.
Animation and SPX (special effects) is an area where flatbed scanning can be used as ideas
are often put together by hand using large boards (storyboarding). These can be converted to
digital form using the 24120. Other applications in this field can often involve artwork too
precious or bulky for a sheet-feed scanner. These can be converted for transmission, re-
working, adaptation or archive using the 24120. Please read the safety advice notes in Section
