Equipment
A Flatbed Scanner is highly recommended.
No need to be fancy, 1200DPI is plenty.
Preparation
You need to take apart the box while minimizing damage.
Each box is different, but generally you can:
- Carefully lift the end flaps
- Look at the inside of the box
- Locate the corner with the fold-over
- Cut straight along its edge
- Wipe with dry microfibre cloth to remove dust and fingerprints
Scanning
- Scan at 800 / 1200 DPI
- 24-Bit colour
- JPEG format, 90% - 95% quality.
- Ensure the scans are IN THE ORDER OF:
- Outside
- Inside (Only if there is text)
- Leaflets (All pages with text)
- Processing Envelopes (If any)
- Straighten and crop if necessary
⚠️ DO NOT perform excessive post-processing! Flatter image is preferable.
