For organisations that need to digitise fragile, bound, or irregular materials, the Contex IQ FLEX provides a flexible large-format flatbed scanning solution. It is suitable for archives, libraries, museums, print environments, and creative teams working with delicate documents, books, textiles, artwork, and other originals that cannot pass safely through a sheet-fed scanner.

The flatbed supports oversize scanning for documents up to A1/D-size, while an optical resolution of up to 1200 dpi enables detailed image capture. A dedicated book scanning mode includes page separation and spine fold correction, helping users digitise bound materials while maintaining readable page content.

An embedded controller and 7-inch multi-touch screen allow users to manage scanning tasks directly from the device. Scans can be reviewed, edited, annotated, and marked up before being sent to a network folder, compatible printer, USB drive, or connected device through Ethernet or Wi-Fi. Contex LINK also allows individual users to route files directly to their own private network folders.

When used with Nextimage 7, the IQ FLEX supports X-Rite-powered colour management and workflows exceeding FADGI 3-star compliance. With its flatbed design, direct operation, and flexible output options, the Contex IQ FLEX is a practical solution for careful digitisation of specialist and fragile materials.
