for Imaging Oversize Materials

NEDCC has developed a new 500 sq. ft. Oversize Imaging Studio, dedicated to the digital imaging of oversize and fragile 2D objects. The new studio features a custom-manufactured precision imaging table designed by and made exclusively for NEDCC. The table is engineered to move on both the X axis and the Y axis, while the overhead camera remains stationary. 

NEDCC Oversize Imaging Studio benefits:

• Eliminates manual repositioning of fragile objects during imaging
• Allows for precise lighting and multi-image capture across the entire object for optimal computer image assembly

These benefits are in addition to the advantages of NEDCC’s overall approach to digital imaging, which include:

• True 1:1 object resolution (SFR)
• Faithful color reproduction
• Distortion-free imaging with flat-field optics
• Precision master files that enable long-term preservation of intellectual information
• Retention by client of all intellectual property rights

NEDCC’s Oversize Imaging Studio is ideal for oversize, fragile objects that require precise imaging:

• Wall maps
• Architectural drawings
• Original art, Prints, Drawings, Large Documents
• Blueprints and other oversize, light-sensitive materials
• Scrolls, Parchments, Etchings, Textile Samplers
