This facilitates global access to this valuable information and at the same time prevents deterioration caused by frequent physical handling.<br>The outstanding quality of the digital copies sets Zeutschel\u2019s digitisation solutions apart from the rest.

Zeutschel has chosen Fujifilm GFX100S and GFX100SII for the medium-format camera because it delivers consistent digital copies at the highest level. The high-resolution 102-megapixel sensor and the outstanding lenses enable an optical resolution of 300 ppi on DIN A1+ with only one picture, so even the smallest details and the finest colour nuances are true replications of the original.<br>In order to measure the quality of the digital copies as regards colour and detail reproduction, standards and norms are created in which tolerances are determined for a multitude of criteria. These criteria include colour discrepancies, tonal value range, detail reproduction and homogeneous illumination.<br>Zeutschel scanners with Fujifilm GFX cameras meet the highest level of quality in digitisation standards, ISO 19264-1, Metamorfoze and FADGI. They create digital copies which truly replicate the information content and appearance of the original.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignfull size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/img_02-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-268477\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/ loading=\"lazy\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>To quote Christian Hohendorf, Managing Director of Zeutschel GmbH:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBy satisfying standards and norms, we guarantee high and consistent quality for our customers, completely and accurately capturing all the information visible in the original.
