Quality Large Format Scanning

Large and oversized documents, such as architectural and engineering drawings, can consume considerable storage space and are at risk of damage. Converting drawings, plans, maps, and oversized documents to digital formats makes workplaces more efficient by reducing reliance on hard copies. With our top-of-the-line technology, we can convert large and oversized documents into digital images, eliminating storage concerns and mitigating the risk of damage.

Large-format scanning refers to digitizing oversized documents that exceed the capabilities of standard office scanners. These materials often include blueprints, CAD drawings, construction plans, topographic maps, aerial photographs, artwork, and oversized legal or technical documents.

Unlike smaller documents, large-format materials require specialized equipment and expertise to capture fine details, maintain accurate scale, and prevent physical damage during scanning. At AMS Imaging Inc., our professional large-format scanners are designed to handle documents of any size, provided the width or length does not exceed 60 inches. Additionally, our scanners can digitize thick, oversized items up to one inch, all while preserving line sharpness, colour fidelity, and tonal consistency.

Why Digitize Your Large-Format Documents

For organizations managing large archives or active project documentation, large-format scanning is an essential step toward long-term information management. Oversized documents often contain irreplaceable information. Paper plans and drawings are vulnerable to wear, fading, moisture, fire, and accidental damage. Digitizing these materials helps safeguard them for the future while improving daily usability.

Key benefits of large format scanning include:

• Preservation of original documents by reducing the need for physical handling
• Improved accessibility through digital storage and quick retrieval
• Enhanced collaboration by enabling easy sharing and remote access
• Space savings by reducing reliance on physical storage
• Operational efficiency through searchable, well-organized digital files
