Scanning of Color Documents
Not everything is as simple as black and white these days. When complete image retention is necessary, the best path to follow is color imaging. While color images will take up much more space and have reduced OCR accuracy, there are several situations where the importance of complete image retention far exceeds the ability to search.

Since photographs and related files come in all shapes and sizes, we recommend filling out our instant quote form -- that way you can inform us of all the details for your project. We will then determine the necessary methods to fulfill your request and contact you with an accurate estimate!
