The new i2s QUARTZ A0 HD is the only book scanner on the market capable of scanning up to A0 size materials at a FADGI 4 star level. It is truly the most versatile and powerful book scanner in the world. The QUARTZ A0 book scanner is dedicated to digitizing large format and bound documents at the highest standards for image quality. Over 30 years of experience in digital imaging and processing have been put into making the Quartz A0 HD LED the best book scanner in terms of image quality, versatility, and ease of use.
While other book scanners on the market can only scan using either a V cradle or a standard book cradle, the QUARTZ A0 is capable of scanning bound or flat materials at angles from 180° to 90°.
Image Quality
No matter how strict the handling requirements for your most fragile documents (such as ancient books, manuscripts, maps, and newspapers) the Quartz A0 HD book scanner can handle it. Bought, tested, and approved by the Library of Congress, the QUARTZ A0 HD book scanner is compliant with Metamorfoze and FADGI guidelines for international preservation requirements.

Lighting​
​
In digital imaging, uniform lighting is one of the most crucial parts in creating an accurate capture of the source material. The QUARTZ utilizes dual LED light sources that attach to both sides of the camera head so that every inch of the material is evenly and thoroughly illuminated as the scan head captures the image.
