Digitisation of books and documents

Preserving cultural heritage in digital format
without any damage to the originals

Digitisation is the process of converting paper documents into high-quality electronic format. Items that can be digitized:

  • books, journals, newspapers;
  • archival documents;
  • rare and antique editions;
  • photo albums, maps, posters;
  • banknotes, shares, bonds;
  • stamps etc.

Professional digitisation does more than just create a copy — it builds a digital archive that preserves the appearance and structure of the object with maximum accuracy.

Qidenus Mastered Book Scanner À2 and its technical specifications:

A professional scanner Qidenus Mastered Book Scanner À2 which we use guarantees both quality and safety of originals. Specifically:

  • Careful handling — no physical contact with the original, no heating or harmful radiation that may damage paper.
  • Gentle scanning — books are scanned in a special V-shaped cradle, without unbinding or damaging the spine.
  • High image quality — every page is clear and detailed, down to the texture of the paper or the binding.

  • Original format: from 30×30 mm up to 417 × 265 mm (slightly less than A3).
  • Thickness of originals: up to 160 mm.
  • Resolution: up to 600 dpi.
  • Lighting type: LED without UV/IR radiation (compliant with museum standards).
  • Digitisation without unbinding the book.
  • Opening angle: 80° (V-shape) — protects the book spine.
  • Output formats: JPEG, TIFF, RAW, PDF and others on request.

A regular office scanner cannot provide this: it heats and damages paper, cannot handle bound documents, and fails to preserve the appearance of a book as a whole object. Our equipment solves these problems and delivers results worthy of archives and museums.

The scanning service includes:
  • scanning of the original,
  • initial processing of digital images (cropping, page alignment),
  • creation of files in the required format (e.g. e-book or separate images).

Digitisation cost starts from 5 UAH per page. The exact price is calculated individually for each order and depends on:

  • the total volume (the more pages, the lower the cost per page),
  • the condition of the originals,
  • the complexity of the scanning process.
