Is it safe to scan graphics?
 

Hello, I want to make scans of your collection of graphics, whether it is safe or dangerous for her <! - ~ 3 ~ ->

ivan81, no joke - 50 years from now it will be clear . Since the beginning of the application - we have , at least , not yet passed a deadline for the conclusion. As far as I 've heard in the TG used a remote scanner. Of the existing rules for the use of new materials and technologies can competently say restorers . Wait , MB , someone will answer . In my opinion, stick to the scanner , of course, is easier, but better ( safer) still photos.

In conventional scanners, fluorescent lights and the effects of short-term.
I do not think that this could harm the graph.

"Zhuvut runoff does not" ... (C)

Toinen, but what about the "bulk" techniques?
Maybe there is something electrified?

Seema, it seems to me that the impact of the environment is much more devastating.

I have all my graphics scanning.
And many of my friends scan, including watercolors.
Photo quality is still inferior scans.

I am still painting on cardboard want to scan interesting what happens <! - ~ 1 ~ ->

I practice it too.
Sometimes it works well, sometimes badly scanner lamp lightens the color.

Toinen, you have not answered my question about bulk techniques. Wednesday the medium , but why exacerbate .
In general , ladies and gentlemen , I have a museum approach. Its essence is that in a short (in comparison with eternity ) the period of coexistence with conventional my "thing" none of my decisions and actions should not be changed for the worse its safety . But all attempts to " improve " should be up to a limit of conservative methods. And the decision is taken collectively. Given the risks.
It would be nice to private owners know that their stuff does not belong only to them , but also culture.
Vivian, imagine if your " greatly lightens the color" is not only the results on the screen ( you can color- correct ), but also the subsequent condition of the picture. A pasty from pressing the oil cap as a lead ? Ah, the experimenters ... <! - ~ 2 ~ ->
