Large Format Drawing Scanning

Preserve and digitize oversized drawings, maps and plans with precision scanning built for large format documents.

Large format documents present unique challenges that standard scanners simply cannot address. Image Advantage operates specialized large format scanning equipment capable of capturing oversized drawings at the resolution required to preserve every line, dimension and annotation.

From active project drawings to archived plans decades old, we handle each document with the care and precision it requires. Image Advantage serves engineering firms, municipalities, surveyors, and architects across Ontario.

High-Resolution Scanning for Oversized Documents

Engineering firms, architectural practices, municipalities and surveyors rely on Image Advantage to digitize their large format drawings and plans. Our large format scanners are capable of processing documents up to and beyond AO size, capturing high-resolution images that retain the fine detail critical in technical drawings, site plans, subdivision maps and building permits.

Every scanning project includes document preparation, image capture at appropriate resolution, quality review and delivery in formats compatible with CAD, GIS and document management systems. For aged or fragile drawings, our team takes additional care to ensure documents are handled safely throughout the process.

What our clients are saying...

I would like to thank you for the excellent response to my request for a By-law that you had at your offices for scanning. It was a grand total of 36 minutes and the By-law was emailed to me, I was surely impressed. The quality of your work is impeccable. I just finished down loading your most recent work you did for us and again very impressive.

Fortunately, for the hospitals and our patient population we were able to secure the services of Image Advantage. In the very short time span of 6 weeks’ they were able to clear our backlog. The staff that Image Advantage employs is professional, courteous and eager to do an excellent job. The flexibility that the company demonstrated to meet the needs of my staff for scheduling and equipment availability was beyond what you would expect. I would not hesitate to recommend this company to my colleagues in healthcare as their attention to detail and confidentiality was exceptional.

Image Advantage scanned hundreds of international agreements for archiving that required delicate handling. The Image Advantage team organized these agreements in an easily searchable format with click-and-retrieve, simple file transfer and a professional look. The final database was used by many national and international officials in their duty. They were most impressed with this product and found it to be user-friendly and certainly more convenient than having to carry loads of papers. There is no doubt that this product has increased the efficiency of our operations.

The Toronto Star digitized its archival photo collection taken over the last 120 years. We discussed the requirements and they took the time to fully understand our complicated file structure and how we wanted the images preserved. They deliberately and thoughtfully investigated my requirements to ensure they could provide the service in a timely manner at a competitive price. They were fabulous to work with. The quality of their service is extremely high. I would not hesitate to recommend Chad and the Image Advantage team.

We were referred to Image Advantage by a former publisher for the Canadian military. ‘They always overdeliver’, he said. And Image Advantage made good on that statement. We at AIME have been extremely pleased with their professionalism, attention to detail, customer care, and, most of all, the exceptional value for the work they perform.

We have been working with Octacom and its Odiss Document Management Software for over 5 years. The solution developed by Octacom for Air Canada Cargo was exactly what we needed.

When records are digitally archived, I can quickly retrieve and print which makes the release of information function so much faster and easier.
