Mikro-Tegn A/S

HD5450 was the best long-term investment to stay at the top of the Danish scanning industry

Summary - Mikro-Tegn A/S

One of Denmark’s leading integrated scanning service companies, Mikro-Tegn A/S provides advanced solutions for scanning and converting both new and historical documents and technical drawings. Serving the private and public sectors, clients include engineers, architects, contractors, and government agencies. For Mikro-Tegn providing customers with the best possible service has always been the first priority. To stay at the top of the Danish scanning industry, they constantly research the market for the best available scanning equipment. And that’s how Mikro-Tegn discovered Contex’s large format HD5450 scanner.

Challenge: scanning fragile canvas maps into high resolution documents

Mikro-Tegn won a large government contract to scan and digitize more than 40,000 old maps – maps which are drawn and printed on old canvases. The maps are often very delicate and fragile, necessitating great care in handling and processing. The client only wants the highest resolutions, which means large 1 GB files and makes scanner speed a prime issue.

The solution – large format Contex HD5450 scanners

Every week, Mikro-Tegn receives a number of maps, which it scans with its two Contex HD5450 scanners. “Mikro-Tegn is dependant on a scanner that is reliable and does not malfunction, making the HD5450 the best long-term investment” says Managing Director Jens Nørland. The HD5450 is perfect for the work. Featuring advanced imaging technology, it can easily handle extra-large, full-color scanning, including oversized drawings, posters, architectural sketches, detailed maps, and even fine art.

The benefits – reliable, fast, high resolution scanning

In fact, the Contex HD5450 scanner is the most dependable scanner on the large format scanner market today. And it’s unbeatable on resolution, delivering the industry’s best at 120,000 pixels for consistently good results. “With Contex scanners we experience excellent speed, resolution and reliability – qualities that are essential to our company’s business and profile” says Nørland.

The results – an investment that pays off

Since acquiring the two Contex HD5450 Scanners, Mikro-Tegn has improved its service and reliability significantly. “Our concept is to offer our customers a highly professional and top quality service, which is why we have chosen Contex as a partner for large format scanning” says Production Manager Bent Ravn.
