Contex launches new contact-free wide-format scanner

Contex, a market leader in high-quality large- format scanning, has introduced a HD Apeiron/42 scanner that is designed for contact-free digitisation of detailed and delicate originals with accuracy. The new contact-free Contex scanner can be suitable for museums, art galleries, copy shops and others which wish to have a powerful new way to boost the quality of scanned artwork. Meeting the highest FADGI image quality level with four stars as the first of its kind and also reaching CRI levels above 98 makes it clear that this scanner is head and shoulders above the rest.

Featuring a clearance height of 10 inches (254 mm) and a focal plane of up to 5.1 inches (130 mm), it also enables scanning of thicker media, such as framed artwork. Unparalleled technology and light control, six quad-linear FUJIFILM lenses with Toshiba colour CCDs of the scanner capture all details in up to 1200 dpi optical resolution – twice the competition’s image quality. Patent-pending laser-controlled camera adjustment and motorized focus adjustment make focusing easy as well.
