Large Format Scanner WideTEK 36 - 20 Percent Faster, Same Price
WideTEK 36, named „the world’s fastest and most
innovative large format scanner“ by the independent testing
laboratory Bertl, now provides even higher production
efficiency. The high resolution device scans 36 inch wide
documents at 12.4 inches per second (18.9 m/minute) in a
resolution of 200 dpi in 24 bit color. At 400 dpi
resolution, scanning at 6.2 ips (9.4 m/minute) enables
optimal throughput and image quality even at higher
resolutions.
The fast, high resolution large format scanner is a
reliable solution for demanding users in architecture and
construction offices, in the cartography, CAD and GIS system
branches as well as for copy services. The device produces
high resolution scans of documents with a maximum width of
up to 36 inches (915 mm) and true optical resolution of 1200
x 600 dpi.
„Due to the higher scanning speed, the entire
digitalization process; from scanning to image conversion,
post-processing and finally, digital image output; can be
reduced up to 20 percent. A critical factor particularly for
scanning service providers, because it reduces production
costs substantially“, noted Thomas Ingendoh, CEO and
President of Image Access. „The devices are particularly
suitable for users who, in addition to scanning speed, also
need high resolution image quality“. Aside from lower
production costs, the scanner’s very low maintenance
requirements are another positive aspect. The dust protected
camera technology, together with patented stitching
procedure, LED illumination (50,000 hours lifetime) and the
low number of consumables make the product practically
maintenance-free.
The user operates the scanner either with a standard
internet browser or alternatively, via the built-in touch
screen. With a monitor directly connected to the scanner
(optional), the WideTEK 36 can also be used as a completely
stand-alone device, without a client PC. After scanning, the
operator can modify scan parameters such as color,
brightness, contrast, etc. The modified image is immediately
displayed on the monitor and available to the user without
having to rescan the document. Walk-up scanning enables the
user to send images directly from the scanner to any
destination in the network (i. e. network directory, FTP
server or network printer), again – without needing a client
PC attached. Using the integrated USB port, the scanned
image can be saved directly to any USB memory device.
The WideTEK 36 scans historical and valuable documents
particularly gently thanks to spring-loaded ball bearings
and optionally available transparent envelopes. The scanner
can handle old, fragile transparent drawings without
problems. The WideTEK 36’s optimized LED illumination, the
optional white backplate and the adaptive 2D binarization
algorithm ensure the user high contrast results and provide
a more cost-effective alternative than conventional
backlight units.
The WideTEK 36 large format scanner is an efficient
solution characterized by fast processing, brilliant images
and nearly no consumables. Competitively priced at €9999
(including foot stand), the WideTEK 36 guarantees low cost,
efficient production with a quick return on investment.
