Great New Scanning Device #Flip-pal

Written by ellen on August 13th, 2011

Have you ever paged through a friend or family photo album and you say, “Hey get me a copy of this photo!” knowing full well it probably won’t happen. The other problem I have seen is you want a copy of the entire album but Aunt Judy won’t let it out of the house.

I found a solution this problem! Instead of taking the picture to the scanner, Flip-Pal allows you to bring the scanner to the photo.

Flip-Pal is very easily transportable and can scan items that are in albums or frames. It even has this amazing software with it that will allow you to scan a very big item in stages and then stitch the scans together later making one large image.

I see Flip-Pal working great in reference libraries. Instead of making paper copies of reference materials and taking them home and scanning, you can scan the book right at the library. Flip-Pal will allow you to get the book flatter than a copier and there will not be the distortion of words where the book is bound!

You can throw it in a purse or laptop bag and carry it with you. Then when Aunt Judy says oh no I can’t let you take the album you can say instead, mind if I scan a few photos?

If you would like more information or would like to order your own Flip-Pal, please follow the Flip-Pal link, give me a call (262-783-1620) or send an email. I can place the order for you and have it shipped directly to your home.
