Colortrac announces that its SmartLF SGi and SmartLF SCi large format scanners are now FADGI 3-star compliant, meeting recognised standards for image quality set by the US Federal Agencies Digital Guidelines Initiative (FADGI).
FADGI compliance is fast becoming a requirement in public sector procurement, particularly in digitisation projects involving archives, libraries, and museums.
“Achieving the 3-star FADGI compliance means that our two leading scanner series now meet image quality benchmarks used by the most demanding institutions without adding cost or complexity to the user,” says Jacob Bendix, CCO and VP of Sales and Marketing at Colortrac.
FADGI Compliance
FADGI relies upon well-established practices, objective measurements, and quality assurance methods to create accurate imaging. The purpose is to reduce variabilities that may be introduced by the scanning process and human subjectivity.
FADGI is world-leading but compares to programs like Metamorfoze and ISO-19264-1. ISO 19264-1 B and Metamorfoze Light are comparable to FADGI 3-star, though they all get their results through different imaging approaches.
Available for Current Users
Colortrac offers a free software option, SmartWorks TOUCH. However, achieving the FADGI 3-star compliance with a Colortrac SmartLF SCi or SmartLF SGi scanner requires the professional SmartWorks Imaging software. And if you have it already, all you need to do is update it to the latest version.
