Drum Scanner

 

A drum scanner is a type of high-resolution device primarily used for capturing detailed, high-quality images from photographic film or prints.

The artwork is attached to a transparent cylinder, or drum, that spins at high speed while a light source scans the image.

Its ability to capture subtle gradations in shadows and highlights makes it a valuable tool for reproducing artworks or photographs with high precision.
