News and Press Release
2011
Ecublens, Switzerland April 4th 2011 - 4DigitalBooks is known for manufacturing the highest quality of truly unattended automatic book scanning technology. In the past, this came at a steep upfront investment making it affordable mainly to projects larger than 3 million pages.

After two years of research & development, 4DigitalBooks is proud to unveil its latest innovation: The Digitizing Line mini "DL-mini".

Priced at only EUR 60'000, it is the first automatic and manual book scanner in one, which provides organizations an attractive opportunity to significantly reduce the costs for digitizing even small collections, at the highest quality.

Carrying over the key features of its larger brother, the Digitizing Line 3003, the DL mini does not require a fulltime operator allowing to achieve lowest project costs and highest staff productivity.

It handles the largest variety of bound documents of any other automatic scanner, like page sizes from 2xA6 to 2xA3 with hard or soft covers.

Finally, the DL mini produces images of the highest quality, preserving the authenticity of the original at up to 300 optical dpi. Gone are time consuming interventions to correct page stretching, warped pages, curved pages, removing foreign objects in view, etc…

Like other scanning technologies from 4DigitalBooks, the DL-mini can seamlessly be linked into an efficient and complete workflow that "Gives Life to Digitized Books".

After having been scanned on the DL-mini, the images are automatically optimized with "Page Improver" and passed through an OCR from Abbyy. In the next step, images are automatically indexed and published on the web with the publishing software "MediaINFO" from www.geneza.com.
