Still River EDITIONS offers digital capture using our Cruse scanner

Cruse scanners are the world’s leader in contact free large format scanners. They are a vital resource for many museums, libraries, universities, and historical societies; a key digitizing tool for preserving artworks and large documents for future generations.

Using our Cruse scanner, we can scan artwork and photographs up to 35”x47” in a single scan, or up to 60”x72” scanned in sections and digitally stitched. It will accept works up to 6 ½” deep. The artwork lays on a moving table face up with nothing touching the top surface. It uses a unique lighting system that virtually eliminates reflections, especially on high gloss works. It also has the option to change the lighting to emphasize or reduce surface textures. See it in action here.
