Image Access exhibited at three GSA Navy shows in Georgia and Florida, June 17-19. Over 100 government contractors participated in the events, held at the Kings Bay Naval Air Station in Kings Bay Georgia June 17th, Mayport Naval Air Station in Jacksonville, Florida on June 18th, and Jacksonville Naval Air Station June 19th. Over 700 attendees in total viewed the benefits of the WideTEK 36C scanner, already a popular choice with the United States Navy with close to 25 installations in 2013 alone.

Participants also viewed videos of the WideTEK 25-600 and Bookeye 4 series scanners during the presentation times at each event.

On May 14, 2014, Image Access will present the WideTEK^® 12-600 at the IS&T Archiving Conference in the Sony Center in Berlin. The latest addition to the WideTEK product family is a flatbed scanner, designed to capture 3D surfaces and textures of various materials for surface recognition and industrial control application. The revolutionary 3D scanning mode captures the texture of surfaces so perfectly that they seem to come alive on the screen.

At CeBIT 2014, the world´s largest IT trade show in Hannover, Germany from March 10-14, 2014, Image Access will introduce new scanners and new technological designs in both the WideTEK^® wide format scanner and Bookeye^® book scanner product families. In Image Access’s largest exhibition space ever at CeBIT, in Hall 3 Booth E20, visitors can experience the new scanners and solutions firsthand.

In the WideTEK^® product family, two new scanners, a 36” (915mm) and a 48” (1220mm) model have been outfitted with a built in 64bit Linux PC and new, custom designed CIS modules; which make them the fastest CIS scanners on the market. Based on the successful WideTEK^® 36C and WideTEK 48C models, the new scanners both scan at speeds of 10” (254mm) per second at all resolutions up to 300dpi in full color, nearly three times faster than the next competitor.

Also adding to the WideTEK^® product family is the new WideTEK 12, the little brother of the very successful and now redesigned WideTEK 25 wide format flatbed scanner. Both scanners have the capability to capture images in the normal 2D mode with two newly developed LEDs lamps that produce very diffuse, natural light to avoid capturing folds and wrinkles. In the new 3D mode, surface properties of the source material are captured and merged into the image, producing incredibly 3D-like images that look very real. Advanced optics design means that closing the lid is not necessary in most cases, boosting productivity even higher. The WideTEK 25 is only 770mm (30”) wide while the WideTEK 12 only occupies 450mm (18”). Both scanners are the most compact in their class.

Image Access is adding a low cost model to its highly successful line of book scanners with V-shaped book cradles. The Bookeye® 4 V3 is the first Image Access product in the price sensitive A3+ market. Bookeye® 4 V3 has a 64bit Linux PC and 8GB of memory and is offered at a very competitive price. Based on the successful Bookeye® 4 line of scanners, ranging from the A1+ top model with motorized book cradles and automated glass plates to the A2+ model found in almost all libraries around the world, the Bookeye 4 V3 standalone walk up digital scanner has all of the features of the larger models, such as gentle, protective book scanning at 120°, PC free operation, an easy to operate touchscreen and high quality lamps at affordable price. Bookeye 4 V3 easily beats the digicam based offerings often found in the low end market with its superior color quality, perfect optical bookfold correction and continuous focus adjustment, all of which are features not found in digicam based scanner substitutes.

Visit Image Access at CeBIT, in Hall 3 Booth E20 to experience the full line of WideTEK and Bookeye products, including the newest models WideTEK® 36C and 48C, WideTEK 12 and Bookeye 4 V3 and see how to scan in 3D on the redesigned WideTEK 25.

At the end of January, the Berlin State Library will host a great event for anyone with an interest in the First World War. The two-day international conference ´Unlocking sources - The First World War online & Europeana´ will take place at the Berlin State Library, Berlin, Germany on 30-31 January 2014.
At the collection days´ events, members of the public are invited to bring their documents, artifacts and stories from the First World War to be recorded by the project staff. The stories and scanned images of the objects are then added to the archive.
Image Access supports this project with its book scannersBookeye 4 V2 Professional and the wide format flatbed scanner WideTEK 25.
Europeana 1914-1918 is based on an initiative at the University of Oxford where people across Britain were asked to bring family letters, photographs and keepsakes from the War to be digitized. The success of the idea - which became the Great War Archive - has encouraged Europeana, Europe´s digital archive, library and museum, to bring other national or local institutions across Europe into an alliance with Oxford University. The collaboration brings European stories online alongside their British, Irish, Luxembourgian, German etc. counterparts in a World War One stories collection.
More than 400 people participated in the 2013 german collection days.
