What Is Book Scanning Quality Control?
Quality control checks whether a digital book is complete, correctly ordered, legible and an accurate representation of the original.
Checks can include page sequence, missing pages, skew, cropping, focus, exposure, colour, gutter detail, foldouts, blank pages, inserts and file naming.
Book scanning quality control
The right method depends on the physical construction, condition and purpose of the book. Non-destructive capture keeps significant originals intact; destructive capture can be appropriate for approved modern production work.
