Flatbed
scanners are essential for art, art history, architectural history,
and museum research, publication, and publicity. If you do professional
work it might be wise to select a professional flatbed scanner.

Since
the Internet requires a low resolution scan, that is all we can
picture here. But the actual original scan can be as detailed as
1200 optical dpi (we do not work with interpolated images). This
scan can be enlarged to almost two feet wide, for a poster, for
exhibit, or for studying how the ancient Maya carved solid jade
(which is harder than steel) when the ancient Maya had no metal
tools at all? The back
side of this jade plaque is also available to study.
