The Digitizing Line DL-3000 Book Scanner is billed as the fastest book scanner in the world. Since it offers a maximum of 3000 pages per hour, which equates to something like an average paperback every 6 to 7 minutes, we’re not going to argue. It’s big though, so you may want to measure up the spare bedroom before handing over your pension money. Oh and it costs around $250,000 I believe.
Suitable for recent and old books # Safety of the book validated by experts in book preservation # Handles books with various paper thickness, texture, porosity and soft or rigid covers # Turns and scans 1500 to 3000 pages per hour in unattended operation # Overall productivity is incomparably higher than any manual operator # Handles books that open normally and books that close spontaneously # Ensures that only one page is turned at a time
