Large Format Scanning

Large Format Scanning Services

Cleardata provides professional large format scanning services from our UK bureau.  Our bureau features top of the range Canon scanners and printers, which can produce more space-efficient electronic versions of your large diagrams, plans and drawings in either mono or colour. Our drawing scanners will capture documents up to A0 in width but can cope with long drawings, up to approximately 2 metres.

We often capture wide format images, with long lengths. Our IT team can work wonders with most image sizes and can also clean up your images for you. The scanners can capture vellum, paper, transparency or any other type of drawing paper.

We can also print or photocopy your large format documents for your own use. This can allow you to sketch amendments on to your file without needing to damage the original document or produce several copies of an original plan.

So if your huge mountain of drawings are beginning to overwhelm your business, or if you just need multiple copies of your wide format documents, take a look at how our large document scanning services can provide the perfect solution.

Are you looking for cost and space-saving solutions for your large format documents? Our drawing scanning and large format scanning services can provide digital copies of your documents to an exceptional level of quality.

Why Choose Us?

What size drawings and large format documents can we scan?

Our large format team scans architectural drawings, maps, utility plans and documents, construction drawings on a daily basis.  The scanners can capture faint pencil marks and clean up areas on drawings, providing an exceptional quality digital image.

To us, large format is anything bigger than A3. A2, A1 and A0 are the standard drawing sizes we come across every day, however, we’ve scanned wide format drawings and wallpaper for a number of companies. Our IT team can export your drawings into any required image format and can also help clean them up to ensure the best possible quality.

Drawings often arrive at the bureau in rolls or folded in plastic poly pockets. We will treat your drawings even more carefully than you do. The majority of drawings captured are monochrome, but our scanners can capture both colour and monochrome images.

 Option 2: Print or photocopy your original drawings.

We can provide printed copies of all types of documents up to size A0. This gives you the freedom to make physical edits to a copy of a document, or print multiple versions of the same drawing.

Your document has colour? No problem! Thanks to our investment in industry leading large document scanning and printing equipment, your digitised drawings will retain all original colours.

We can also provide onsite drawing scanning and printing if you would prefer to keep your documents at your premises. Our professional scanning and printing equipment can be taken directly to your place of work, and produce quality digital or physical versions of your large documents and drawings.

Benefits

Choosing to take advantage of our large format scanning service can offer you the following benefits:

Saved Space

Large documents are of course more likely to take up valuable business space in comparison with typical paper files. By digitising your drawings, you can save significant space previously taken up by large drawings, whilst still having complete access to the information.

Easy access and retrieval

By uploading your drawings to an online document management system, authorised staff members can also enjoy full access to digital documents from any computer with an internet connection.

Multiple physical copies

Our high quality printing service offers the perfect solution for companies looking to produce several physical copies of an original plan. We can discuss exactly how many documents you require in our initial consultation.

Protection from damage

Having a digital back-up of your large documents, or even replacing them entirely with electronic versions, can safe-guard your business from unforeseen damage. Large plans and drawings can become troublesome to store onsite due to their size, and can be prone to fire and flood damage, as well as general wear-and-tear.
