Hornet mega scanner

27/Jun/2017

Our "Hornet" mega-scanner delivers pin-sharp images of pictures/paintings behind glass (!) and in frames (!) - contactless and gentle.

Dear readers,

The Hornet is in heavy use with us. We use the "Hornet", as it is called, to scan paintings in frames up to 2x DI A0 (approx. two square meters in size). This was also the case with paintings by the artist Christian Wind (see photos below to browse through).

Largest format approx. 120 x 80 cm

We also worked with "large calibers" in 120 x 80 cm format, but this was no problem at all with the huge support surface offered by the Hornet. We carefully placed the works on the "bed" for scanning. After the scan and a calculation time of approx. 30 seconds, the file was ready on the hard disk and ready to be handed over to the customer.

Numerous processing options for the scans

The result is impressive. The result is a cleanly scanned image that is suitable for all kinds of purposes. For example, for presentation on the Internet to make it easier for interested parties to access information. But also for reproductions: For example, if required, we can print these works on any material, be it canvas, wood, aluminum dibond, stone, acrylic glass or GalleryPrinteverything is possible. And if you want to use the scans as illustrations in brochures, you can of course do this too - as I said, the applications are many and varied. Also possible: in view of the unfortunately sharp rise in burglary rates, anyone can store their expensive original in a safe and hang a faithful copy on the wall that lives up to the adjective "faithful".

Approx. 20 paintings? Done quickly and to a high standard

In the case described above, we scanned around 20 works. Due to the relatively fast scanning process of the Hornet, which incidentally cost a low six-figure sum to purchase, we don't need too much time for this and can quickly process relatively large quantities of scans. Even if fine adjustments need to be made to the device to enable high-quality, razor-sharp scans, the time required is manageable.
