Quality Assurance Service Levels
Western Integrated Systems’ imaging quality assurance process offers three service levels (Image Pro, Image Plus and Image Express) each designed to best meet the requirements of the content and condition of the Paper and Microfilmed documents in your collection.
These service levels ensure the best possible image quality and accountability for your conversion project.
Image Pro
Image Pro service includes physical Page/Frame Counting per unit before scanning for paper, fiche, aperture cards, and during scanning for film with reconciliation to the actual number of delivered pages/frames to ensure all items have been accounted for. After scanning, we visually inspect each image for quality and clarity known as 100% Visual Inspections. This includes page and/or frame orientation and allows for adjusting brightness, contrast and gamma settings to improve readability.
Image Plus
Image Plus service employs 100% Visual Inspections included in Image Pro service without Physical Page/Frame Counts and Page / Frame Count Reconciliation.
Image Express
Image Express service omits Page/Frame Counting, 100% Visual Inspections, and Page/Frame Reconciliation. This service is recommended for high quality machine printed paper documents. For microfilm the service delivers 12-bit grayscale renderings of each frame stored in a ribbon file. The ribbon files are loaded into our application software Virtual Film. Frames needing to be accessed can be adjusted and outputted to PDF or printed for distribution.
