Opticbook 3600 book scan: perfect scans without spine damage
Flatbed scans: Give shadows, distorted text & damaged book spines

For a long time now, scanners have been a great way to make copies of photos and documents. On the other hand, books have always presented a unique problem for scanners. They are not flat, and therefore they do not fit well and always leave a black shadowy area where the binding is. The Plustek OpticBook 3600 offers a solution to that problem. With its SEE (Shadow Elimination Element) Technology you can get a book scanned without the binding getting in the way.

Shadow Elimination Element Technology

Plustek's patent pending SEE™ (Shadow Elimination Element) Technology includes a specially designed curved edge and lamp. This technology allows for "zero edge" scanning which means the scanning module can scan right up to the edge of the scanner where the book spine is placed. The book can therefore be scanned with the pages completely flat on the glass to avoid the annoying book spine shadow and distorted lines of text which occur when the books are scanned on a traditional flatbed scanner.

Plustek has already received a patent on its specially designed lamp with curved ends. This lamp allows the correct amount of light for a good scanned image at both ends of the scanning module.
