General
Overall looking for accuracy (adherence to technical specs), completeness and consistency. A general practice is for the person conducting the quality review not to be the same person who performed the actual scanning as it helps to have a fresh set of eyes review things. Another approach is to wait a reasonable period between scanning work and QC review.
Check list
-
File format is Tiff
-
Resolution is set at 400 ppi
-
Scanned at 24 bit depth
-
AdobeRGB1998 color profile1 2
-
Validate that all pages are turned to their proper orientation
-
Scanned the entire page with edges (a uniform border should be visible around entire page - use black background paper)
-
Scanned dimensions closely match actual size of the original and consistent size across all pages in the digital object
-
Scanned the complete document including blank pages, reverse side of pages, front and back matter, hard covers, spine, etc.
-
Ensure that no cropping of page text has occurred
-
Visually check that no distortion or blemishes obscure the legibility due to photo processing (i.e. that a blemish is not part of the original text and or any glare from protective covering is minimized)
-
Confirm page sequence matches original and filenames have been properly applied (eg wrcXXXXX_XXX)
-
Perform visual comparison of digitized images with original document, checking for any missing or mislabeled pages
-
(optional for Flat Bed scanning) Open a random page from each object in Photoshop, and visually confirm overall tone and color matches original. Should confirm image is in focus by viewing at a resolution view of 50-100%
(1) Note on color management - use AdobeRGB1998 color profile ( since using flat bed scanner and monitor calibration may not be feasible. Recommend using a standard ICC to maintain consistent color throughout images )
(2) Assign profile if sRGB
