Document Restoration

Documents need love too. Whether they are old love letters from your grandparents, a newspaper story about winning the Big Game, or even letters to Santa, having a clean digital version is a great way to have a virtual “backup” of these stories. Scanning and retouching these old documents makes it easy to create one-of-a-kind framed prints. Old letters or notes, newspaper clippings, or even the kids’ artwork make great prints for yourself or to give as gifts.

Fix the Following Issues

Text Ghosting Removal

“Ghosting” occurs when you can see the writing or type on one side of paper from the other side of the page. Ghosting can occur during the scanning process or because of the age or thickness of the paper and the type of ink. It also seems to be more visible with handwritten documents on old lined paper making them somewhat difficult to read.

Fold & Crease Removal

Fold and Crease Removal

Items like letters and newspaper clippings are often folded multiple times and stored in stacks, causing the creases and folds to become noticeably visible and making some text difficult to read. These ridges are usually enhanced during the scanning process and appear as dark or faded lines that obscure or blur the text on the page. Removing these lines and cleaning up the text can make these old letters look the same as the day they were written.
