Going large with your scanning services can deliver a new revenue stream without adding any overheads.
Adding new services when you don’t need new premises and you don’t have to grow your print team is a proposition worth investigating. Some LFP printers are hybrid and will scan thin originals. Investing in a superior dedicated LFP scanner will improve capabilities and quality.
No cost per copy click will speed up your ROI with selling prices in the region of A0 £30, A1 £20 and A2 circa £10.
Add to this that once your customers originals are digitised you can win prints and re-prints on a large scale. Imagine offering an AO copy service, it is bound to attract new business and retain existing customers you may be turning away,
Having checked with a finance company this proposition doesn’t warrant leasing as the capital cost is under £5000, so use your company Barclaycard to pay just £3,857 for the 36” Rowe 450i or £4,438 for the 44” version. Both include a stand, but if you have a plan chest or similar for it to sit on you will save £324.
Do your own sums to see how many scans you need to make before returning 100% profit per scan.
Product research Tec Spec.The ROWE Scan 450i is a large format, sheet fed scanner designed
for scanning wide media such as architectural drawings, engineering plans, maps, posters, and other oversized originals. It is part of ROWE’s series of high-tech scanners manufactured in Germany.
It comes in three width variants: 24″, 36″, and 44″ (i.e. 622 mm, 927 mm, and 1130 mm nominal scanning widths)
Because it is sheet fed (not flatbed), it means the scanner pulls the document through rather than having a lid that closes over it. This design is common in high-volume and wide format scanning environments.
Rowe professional scanners can capture data up to A0, with technology protected by patents.
SuperSpeed USB 3.0 + RES
1200 x 2400 dpi optical resolution
Cloud enabled
Automatic width recognition “On the fly“ (patented)
The width of the original is precisely determined during the scanning process. No forward and backward movement for recognition of the document width.
Dynamic width recognition (patented) Automatic and correct recognition of the document width, also when damaged, e.g. ripped corners
Vision AccomplishedROWE has fulfilled a vision with its new ROWE Scan 450i with the
development of a new class of high-tech scanners “Made in Germany“ with groundbreaking innovations.
Scanning with the patented process Rowe Dynamic Stitching, fully automatic transformation of originals with poor contrast into perfect scans due to the image improvement technology Rowe Pro Logic and brilliant, natural colours because of Rowe Selected True Light.
Also unique: A new process that makes it possible to scan and at the same time recognise the width of the original – all in one process, as well as independently recognising damaged or ripped corners on the originals. The result is excellent productivity whilst at the same time protecting the documents.
Of particular importance to ROWE customers – top results regarding modularity, cost and environment. Thanks to the patented ROWE SAFE DRIVE technology the scan glass has a life cycle up to 500% longer than standard wide format scanners. A power consumption of less than 0.4% in energy saving mode also protects the environment.
The ROWE Scan Cloud technology is independent of your cloud provider. As soon as you have integrated the cloud drive from your provider, e.g. OneDrive, Dropbox, Appel iCloud, Amazon Cloud, Google Drive, MagentaCloud etc. in your operating system, the ROWE Scan 450i stores the data directly there.
