  • Publication number: 20050168783
    Abstract: A method and system for archiving printed material including bi-tonal scans as well as halftone images. Each page of the material would be scanned twice. One scan would be used to achieve a bi-tonal image and the second scan would be used to retain the halftone image. These two scans are stored in separate memories and would be “pasted together” to create a total image of the printed page to be viewed on a display screen and delivered in print format to the end user.

A ball (22) is tethered below the base plate (16) by a cord (24). A handle (18, 20) is disposed at either longitudinal end of the base plate (16). The length of the base plate (16) is selected so that each handle (18, 20) can be held by one of the hands of one person.
