Contex Publishes Industry Report on the Four Requirements for Successful Large Format Scanning

Monday 08. June 2020 - Contex, the world leader in large format scanning, today announces the availability of a new report, Requirements for Successful Large Format Scanning. The report addresses four must-haves for scanning, which include hardware design, software options, productivity (and flexibility), and image quality. Combined, these essential requirements make it possible to deliver the best scans, at the fastest speeds, with the highest image quality.

“Our latest report is a helpful resource for understanding the subtle nuances of a well-designed scanning solution. For anyone considering a new scanner or upgrading, this document is a must-read,” comments Steve Blanken, General Manager, Contex Americas.
The report, Requirements for Successful Large Format Scanning, addresses several important issues, including subtle design features that make a big difference with scanning. For example, scanners should have large-capacity input buffers that allow operators to scan one document after the next without a delay or lag time. High-quality camera lenses and scanning technology also make it possible to capture every detail in perfect color. Guide plate options should also let operators scan any type of document: thick or thin, rigid or pliable. A simple and intuitive interface should allow even the newest of operators to feel confident when they walk up to the scanner.
