Do it once.
Do it right.

Digitization and reproduction with the highest precision

For digitisation, we have the CRUSE scanner and the mobile DOM at our disposal. Regardless of the technology chosen, we ensure that all digital copies are produced with accurate colour reproduction and in high resolution. The resulting digital copy files are processed and prepared so that they can be used for a wide range of print and online applications across a variety of sectors. The authenticity of the original and the integrity of the restoration are our top priorities.

Large-Format Digitization: CRUSE

Our CRUSE scanner is designed for the highest-quality digitization of flat originals, whether smooth or textured. The entire process is fully contactless, ensuring that even the most sensitive materials are preserved with the utmost care.

For especially gentle digitization, we employ LED lighting with exceptional colour rendering quality, entirely free of harmful UV radiation. Individually adjustable light positions allow surface structures and textures to be captured with remarkable clarity and depth. Each original is scanned line by line at a precise 90-degree angle under uniform illumination, ensuring absolute accuracy across the entire surface.

Image resolution150 – 1.600 dpi

Digitization from Small to Medium Format: DOM

The DOM developed by recom is a standalone digitization system that uses a digital camera to take photographs. It is, therefore, a portable miniature photo studio that can be used to create traditional product shots as well as images of works of art, such as paintings. It reproduces surfaces and objects with great detail and realism.

The maximum scan size for the DOM is 70 x 100 cm. The image resolution depends on the original document and the camera lens used. We use a 50 MP camera as standard, but we can, of course, increase the resolution if needed.

Fine Art Digitization

Like the CRUSE scanner, the DOM is capable of reproducing our REFERENCE SCAN with its critical, measurable color accuracy.

We would be happy to advise you in advance on which method is best suited to your specific project and objectives.
Digitization is carried out as agreed and in accordance with conservation requirements.

Since 2013, we have been digitizing photographs, prints, paintings, and art objects for the Grisebach auction house. We use the CRUSE to create a reference scan—a color-accurate digital copy—of large-format works, while the DOM is used to capture small-format works on site.
