You know that you want them scanned into your computer, and you don’t have the 1-2 minutes per photo typically required to scan them yourself on a flatbed scanner.
What are your options?
1. Central Bulk Plant Operators
These plant-based locations are designed specifically to accommodate large production photoscanning. These operations seek to optimize their operations and maximize the advantages this strategy offers with economies of scale and leveraging centralized expertise. To use one of these organizations you will most likely have to box your photos up and send them to their central scanning location. The actual scanning work may be done on location in the United States or outsourced to an off-shore location, in order to minimize labor costs.
2. Regional Service Providers
Regional providers of photo scanning services generally operate within a primary geographical area. This permits them to work directly with their clients and address the specifics of an individual project. Many regional service providers combine photoscanning with other services that are complimentary in nature. Work is generally done at the provider’s location by their staff.
3. Photo Organizing/Scanning Services
These boutique services come to you and provide a personal level of support.
4. DIY (Do It Yourself) Project
Photo scanning as a do-it-yourself project is a great way to save money while making sure that your photos never leave your sight.
Unfortunately for most, the equipment that they can afford to purchase is slow and will mean countless hours scanning photos one at a time. Many do-it-yourself projects never get off the ground because of the time involved.
But now you can have available professional photo scanning equipment delivered right to your home using the affordable E-Z Photo Scan rental program.
E-Z Photo Scan rents professional-grade photo scanning equipment to people who want to scan their photos themselves.
All photo scanner models rented by E-Z Photo Scan feature an automatic feeder with a gentle photo separator module. This means that you can scan thousands of pictures in a fraction of the time that it would take on a conventional flatbed while not damaging your original photos. Our professional-grade scanners result in industry-leading image quality.
Rental scanners can be picked up locally in the Central Florida area, or they can be shipped directly to and from your location in the United States. Rental periods start when the scanner is delivered to you and stop when the scanner is shipped back to E-Z Photo Scan. All scanner rentals include rental of a laptop computer with scanning software pre-installed and ready to go, right out of the box.
