Color is information.
Color scanning improves user comprehension, reduces error and allows users to view everything on a digital image, just as you would on the original document. With color capture, businesses no longer need to worry about losing data during the digital conversion of the document to black and white. Color scanning also cuts the cost of capture time, improving capture productivity and allowing an image to become available sooner with less operator involvement. Rudak said that color scanning captures all the information in a document and permits faster indexing, improved retrieval, enhanced forms recognition and unstructured forms processing. In addition, color capture improves workflow through easier and more intuitive routing.
