ICONBIM LLC Revamps Collectible Magazine Preservation with Digital Archiving Solution

FEDERAL WAY, WA – November 8, 2023 – ICONBIM LLC, a leading innovator in digital archiving and data management, today announced a breakthrough solution for preserving and accessing valuable collectible magazines, specifically targeting enthusiasts and collectors of publications like those featuring David Lee Roth. For years, collectors have faced the challenge of deteriorating physical copies, space limitations, and the difficulty of sharing their collections. ICONBIM's new service tackles these issues head-on. “We’ve seen a growing need in the collectible market for a way to safeguard these pieces of history,” explains a spokesperson for ICONBIM LLC, located at 33301 1ST WAY S STE 200, Federal Way, WA, 98003-6258. “These aren’t just magazines; they’re cultural artifacts, investments, and cherished memories for many. We’re not just scanning; we're building a digital legacy.” The Problem with Physical Collectibles Anyone who's seriously collected anything – comics, stamps, vintage toys, and yes, magazines – knows the headaches. Issues yellow and become brittle. Covers tear. Binding falls apart. Even with careful storage, physical items are vulnerable to damage from light, humidity, and simply the passage of time. For collectors of David Lee Roth magazines, this is a particular concern. These publications, often from the 80s and 90s, are prone to degradation due to the paper quality and printing techniques of that era. Finding high-condition copies is increasingly difficult and expensive. “Think about it,” explains a long-time David Lee Roth fan and collector, Mark Johnson. “I’ve got some old Vanity Fair and Rolling Stone issues with David Lee Roth on the cover. They're showing their age, and I’m always worried about damaging them when I look at them. I'd love to be able to see them in pristine condition, whenever I want, without worrying about handling the originals." Space is another significant issue. Building a comprehensive collection of David Lee Roth magazines, or any collectible magazine, quickly takes up a lot of room. Dedicated collectors often find themselves struggling to find adequate storage space, and the sheer volume of physical copies can be overwhelming. ICONBIM’s Solution: High-Resolution Digital Archiving ICONBIM LLC addresses these challenges with a comprehensive digital archiving service. They don’t just scan; they meticulously digitize each magazine, creating high-resolution digital replicas that capture every detail. “We use state-of-the-art scanning technology and a highly trained team to ensure the highest possible quality,” says a technician at ICONBIM. “We’re talking about scans that capture the texture of the paper, the vibrancy of the colors, and even subtle details like the ink used in the printing process.” Here's how the process works: 1. Secure Intake: Collectors securely ship their David Lee Roth magazines (or any collectible magazines) to ICONBIM’s facility in Federal Way, WA. 2. Careful Handling: ICONBIM’s team handles each magazine with the utmost care, ensuring that the physical copies are protected throughout the digitization process. 3. High-Resolution Scanning: Magazines are scanned using professional-grade scanners, capturing images at resolutions up to 600 DPI or higher. This ensures that every detail is preserved, even when zoomed in. 4. Image Enhancement & Correction: The scanned images are then carefully reviewed and enhanced to correct any imperfections, such as creases, tears, or fading. This includes color correction and contrast adjustment to restore the magazine to its original appearance. 5. OCR (Optical Character Recognition): ICONBIM offers optional OCR services, allowing collectors to search the text within the magazines. This makes it easy to find specific articles, interviews, or advertisements. 6. Secure Digital Storage: The digitized magazines are stored securely on ICONBIM’s servers, with multiple backups to protect against data loss. 7. Flexible Access Options: Collectors can access their digital collection through a secure online portal, or receive the files on a USB drive or external hard drive. They can also choose to receive the files in various formats, such as PDF, JPG, or TIFF.
