When archiving documents, images, and other culturally relevant inscriptions, it is crucial to ensure that the scanners used for these processes perform adequately. Without strong image quality performance, vital details, especially in very old or faded documents, may be missed during scanning.
In our iQ-Lab, we use multispectral imaging to visualize certain inscriptions on objects that are not visible using standard photography. An example is the hidden inscriptions on the security printing of a Euro banknote. Under the right light, different inscriptions on the banknote can be seen.
In the cultural heritage product bundle, we combine iQ-LED technology with advanced test targets to ensure proper image quality evaluations.
Included products:
iQ-Multispectral
Enhance preservation
The iQ-Multispectral is a multispectral illumination device based on iQ-LED technology that enhances digitalization and the preservation of documents, texts, or images. This technology has 19 channels in the visible range and 11 additional channels in the VIS-IR range. It also contains one UV LED.

Universal Test Target (UTT)
A multipurpose test chart
The UTT is a multipurpose test chart designed to test the image quality of scanners. Multiple image quality factors, including resolution, dynamic range, and color accuracy, can be evaluated with the UTT.

iQ-Analyzer-X CH
Evalution software
The Cultural Heritage (CH) version of the iQ-Analyzer-X is a special version for archiving professionals. It is based on the Pro version, but only the analysis of UTT and color charts or targets is possible using an adapted dongle.
