Ribbon scanning prevents information loss
FlexView delivers professional microfilm scanning as well as an on demand viewing for all users. To prevent lost or poorly cropped images, the FlexView uses the ribbon scanning technique which captures a full microfilm roll from edge to edge. This method ensures every document is scanned without errors and the roll can be captured at maximum speed. To guarantee the highest level of image quality, the scanner uses a proven straight through film path, automatic exposure, and custom gamma correction.

LuminTec Lighting Technology
LuminTec increase image clarity without increasing image file size or slowing down capture speed. It does this through an almost monochromatic light that negates the lens’ color correction deficiencies, causing better resolution. Can be purchased separately.

NextScan Ribbon Scanning Technique
Ribbon scanning is technique that captures a full roll of microfilm or an entire microfiche card in one continuous image which can be later be separated into individual images. This technique features edge-to-edge scanning that guarantees 100% capture of images, preventing information loss and reducing the need for re-scans.
