Book Scanning


MTM has specialized in the scanning of books and rare publications for more than 20 years. Book scanning requires a unique approach and specialized book scanners designed to handle the curvature of text near the spine. A normal desktop flatbed scanner requires the user to press down on the spine to get a clean image, which could very easily damage the spine and bindings of the lab notebook.

MTM’s Conversion Services utilizes a book scanner which essentially works like a camera to take a photograph of the notebook. Special software is used that digitally straightens the curved part of the page where it dips into the center of the binding.
