High Demand for Scanning

Not all of the in-plant's new services require printing, though. A couple years ago, Cooper pitched the idea of scanning and archiving forms and architectural plans for various departments. Today scanning is a booming business for the in-plant. On a recent tour of the shop, IPG saw dozens of bags full of rolled-up architectural plans waiting to be scanned on the OcÃ© wide-format TDS 6100. The in-plant burns these PDFs onto CDs and recycles the drawings (the in-plant is the largest recycler in the city, Cooper says). Forms are scanned with Kodak 3500 and Fujitsu fi-5650C scanners and then shredded by the in-plant.
