Allied Images is introducing the HD Apeiron/42 large-format scanner from Contex that enables the copying of orginals directly to the most popular large-format printers using integrated printer drivers. It has a 42in scan width and 60in scan length.
With a clearance height of 10in (254mm) and a focal plane of up to 5.1in (130mm) it enables scanning of thicker media. There’s patent-pending laser-controlled camera adjustment and motorized focus adjustment, and six quad-linear Fujifilm lenses with Toshiba colour CCDs to capture detail in up to 1200dpi optical resolution. Scan speed is up to 6ips at 300dpi.
The lamps in HDÂ Apeiron/42 recreate the natural daylight spectrum using LEDs with TRI-RTM technology. There are four different lamp positions, and depending on their position, the lamps provide different types of highlights and shadow effects – especially if paired with the 3D option. Nextimage software forms the operational foundation of the scanner.
