How to Scan a Ring or Jewelry with a Flatbed Scanner

This scanning saves much time setting up camera and lighting. A cheap flatbed scanner or a three-in-one copier scanner fax mixture will suitably scan jewelry for resale or for website.

Instructions

1. Step 1

Remove the cover or place it to wide open position. If scanner is set up for flat documents, and you are getting clear, readable copies, it must be well to scan jewelry. Keep surface of scanner with a clear sheet of plastic wrap or a clear plastic document cover.

2. Step 2

A ring or bracelet will be scanned similar way, thus you attempt either one for a practice run.

3. Step 3

An 8 1/2 by 11 piece of paper is big. Roll the paper in a roll so it will fit in the item you are planning to scan ring or bracelet either one. Put paper in the ring or bracelet.

4. Step 4

Put the ring or bracelet on scanner by grasping paper at end. Turn the paper so that open edge is up, and turn the jewelry item so that the region wants to display is face down on scanner.

5. Step 5

Attempt white fabric first, and see how it works for you. Cover the item, but leave paper end joining out, and handle it with one hand.

6. Step 6

Press preview scan button and handle paper that holds jewelry. Notice how it looks on preview screen. Crop the picture close so that there is not much open space around the item. Press scan button for result.

If you are happy with result, save it to a folder with a name so you can find it again. If you are not happy with the result, attempt the black fabric as a cover.

After you get a suitable picture or scan, you want to take other views of similar item. Just roll white paper so open edge does not display, and put the item on side or back.

Put the item flat on scanner and look at to display that ring is round, the bracelet is elliptical, or that there is harm.
