Contex Scanners Boost Scanning Productivity by up to 50% at State-of-the-Art Archive Facility
Contex, the world leader in large format scanning, today announces that the University Archives of Texas A&M University-Central Texas uses Contex large format scanners to preserve history like never before. The University Archives installed an IQ Quattro roll-fed scanner and IQ FLEX flatbed scanner at its new facility located at Heritage Hall, which opened in January, this year. The Contex scanners boost staffers' scanning productivity by up to 50%, thanks to quick scanning speeds and Nextimage software, which simplifies functions such as cropping, rotating, and editing, especially for delicate material.
“I really enjoy using the Contex scanners. They’re very easy to use and intuitive,” comments Victoria Eastes, University Archivist, Texas A&M University-Central Texas. “The Contex scanners allow us to accommodate a variety of material, and save us time so we can focus on the collections themselves versus the scanning.”
“High-speed production in archiving scanning is important, considering that these projects can take time,” comments Doyle Cryer, National Account Manager, National/Azon. “Every time a document gets touched or moved, it opens chance for mistake. Contex scanners are important tools in archiving because they eliminate repeat steps, and the speed of the scanner is unsurpassed.” Cryer adds, “More than inches per second, the intelligence in the scanning system adds quality assurance directly into the scanning workflow, at the operator level. There’s no rescanning. There’s no going back.”
