MAP
SCANNING
Scanning
maps, blue prints and engineering drawings is the same as scanning
postage stamps...only bigger. Basically, everything becomes
oversized, and oversized means larger footprints--demanding more
physical space and scanning devices with lots of resolution.
As with any other type of scanning, each device has its tradeoffs, its pluses and its minuses.
The
biggest consideration is material handling. Some devices are
roll fed, some are large flat beds, and others are digital camera
backs mounted on various Reprographic workstations. Curatorial
concerns may dictate which device approach is most suitable,
with the digital photography solutions representing the
safest level of handling.
