Why SMA Book Scanners Are Market Leaders

Versatile Applications

SMA offers models ranging from A3+ up to triple A0+, accommodating everything from small manuscripts to extra-large historical maps and engineering drawings. This broad size range makes them ideal for digitizing books, newspapers, artwork, cartographic materials, and delicate archival content.

Exceptional Image Quality

With true optical resolutions up to 600 ppi and 48-bit color depth, SMA book scanners deliver sharp, detailed images with accurate color reproduction. Many models feature SMA’s proprietary V3D (Virtual 3D) technology, which enhances depth of field and captures structured or reflective surfaces, perfect for materials like coins, seals, fabrics, or embossed covers.

Preservation-Safe

All SMA book scanners use specialized LED lighting that is UV- and IR-free, ensuring no harmful exposure to delicate originals. This technology also provides consistent, ambient-light-independent results, allowing scanning in virtually any environment without sacrificing quality.

Efficiency & Ergonomics

High-speed, bidirectional scanning, motorized or manual book cradles, and intuitive controls ensure quick and comfortable operation. Options such as foot pedal control and motorized height adjustment allow for ergonomic handling, particularly when working with large or fragile items.

Rugged, Professional Build

Designed for demanding institutional use, SMA book scanners feature robust construction for long-term reliability and minimal maintenance. Many models include fold-up, roll-away mounts for easy relocation between work areas, making them adaptable for both stationary and mobile workflows.

Ideal for Archive Digitization

By combining preservation-grade safety, superior image quality, and production-level speed, SMA book scanners are trusted by cultural heritage institutions and industry professionals worldwide for both mass digitization and specialized archival work.
