The Document Scanning Process
Prior to any document scanning process, the documents must be prepared. Wherever necessary, this process includes de-stapling, un-binding, removing any creases/folds and plastic wallets etc. We use a range of high-speed, state-of-the-art scanners to ensure the image and final quality of the scanned documents are of the highest possible standard.
Our scanning service also includes image processing, in which image cropping, de-skewing and image enhancements can be applied to any poor quality or old documents to enhance their final image output quality.
