If you thought we just supplied printers, think again – there are plenty of other pieces of kit that a busy print operation needs, and we can provide them. For example, most print shops could benefit a high-quality scanner for digitalising old plans and drawings. If it’s something your clients have asked for, it would be worth your while to invest in a Contex HD Ultra X scanner.

Do you offer a scanning service?
Our cities are full of ancient and historic buildings, dating back to a time when all the plans and drawings were paper-based – actually, it’s not that long ago! But in today’s world, we need everything to be digitial, and for planners, architects and building contractors, the ability to convert old plans and drawings is critical. And it’s a service that not every printer offers. If you have a number of clients in these fields, investing in a scanner can make perfect sense.
