SCANNING

Scanning of your images is an additional service that Webcom offers. We can scan original images or existing hardcopy for use in our all-digital workflow.

Image Scanning

Webcom can scan your reflective or transparent art and place it into your document. For this service we ask that you supply cropping and sizing information. This is an additional process for which extra charges will be incurred. For a complete price estimate, please contact your Webcom representative.

Page Scanning

When digital files cannot be used or simply do not exist, Webcom’s page scanning capabilities are used to bridge the gap between conventional and digital technology. Hard copy and film can be converted into digital format, which can then be used in our all-digital prepress workflow.
