Quality Assurance is More Than Just a Final Step

We work to ensure top quality results at every stage of your digitization project.

BEFORE WE SCAN

Equipment Calibration & Benchmarking

Our digital technicians perform calibration tests on all active equipment at the start of every shift. At your request, we'll happily include the test scans from equipment used on your project as part of your digital file delivery.

Calibration Tools include:

AIIM Scanner Test Chart #2
RIT Alphanumeric Test Object
Kodak Q-13 and Q-14 19-step gray scales
Microfilm Preservation Targets by Image Science Associates [used for NDNP scanning]
Transparent graduated step chart
Kodak Q-60 Color Input Targets
GoldenThread by Image Science Associates
GretagMacbeth ColorChecker
IT8.7 Target
Imatest

DURING SCANNING

Our digital technicians note any anomalies found during the scanning process, passing the report along for later use during our image-by-image quality check. Your Backstage project manager is alerted to any defects or problems in your original materials so that you can be notified and consulted.

AFTER WE'VE SCANNED

100% Quality Assurance Review

As part of post-scan processing, our digital quality assurance team reviews every original-page image. We look at each file to verify complete capture, proper alignment, even illumination, and consistent rendering of detail.
