The
48-bit ArtixScan 1800f combines an optical resolution of 3,600 x 1,800
dpi and an impressive 4.8 Maximum Optical Density resulting in
amazingly sharp, detailed image capture for the demanding standards of
service bureaus and pre-press environments. Microtek's patented dual
platen design accommodates a variety of reflective, positive, and
negative film originals — from 35mm up to 8" x 10". This
professional scanner features glass-free transparency scanning to
ensure that only the original image is captured, and not the unwelcome
artifacts introduced by glass, to yield superior image quality. Two
interfaces are included for superior connectivity — FireWire
and the new Hi-Speed USB (USB 2.0) interface. Compatible with Windows
XP.
Features:
- Amazing 4.8 Maximum Optical Density: 4.8 Maximum Optical
Density for the highest level of image capture, approximating the
quality of drum scans.
- The world's first professional
Hi-Speed USB scanner: This is the first professional scanner to support
the Hi-Speed USB (USB 2.0) standard, capable of 480-Mbps data transfer
rate. In addition, Hi-Speed USB is backwards compatible, and all
Hi-Speed USB devices can be plugged into older USB 1.1 ports.
- FireWire and Hi-Speed USB interfaces for easy connectivity
and blazing-fast scan speeds: FireWire chip on board guarantees
blazing-fast transfer rates that only real FireWire can provide; can
connect up to 63 peripherals at once. Hi-Speed USB provides
hot-swappable convenience; can connect up to 127 peripherals at once.
- 43,200-sensor cell CCD: A 43,20-sensor cell CCD provides an
optical scanning resolution of 3600 x 1800 dpi for crisp images,
allowing for greater enlargement with richer detail.
-
Microtek Scanner Profiler with Kodak Calibration Targets: Consists of a
4"x5" Kodak Q60 reflective color target, a 4"x5" Kodak Q-60
transparency color target, and a calibration software for maintaining
consistent color quality in any work environment.
- E.D.I.T.
Technology: Emulsion Direct Imaging Technology ensures distortion-free
image quality for film scanning, since there is no glass between the
scanner lens and film emulsion.
- SnapTrans film templates:
Template trays are provided for scanning 35mm mounted slildes, 35mm
filmstrips, 2-1/4" or 4"x5" film. A glass plate allows for scanning
8"x10" or odd-sized transparencies.
- an-cooled CCD: Specially
designed to maintain the CCD at its ideal operating temperature to
ensure top-quality, consistent images with maximum detail on every
scan.
- Batch scanning ability: For improved productivity, the
batch scan feature allows users to scan multiple jobs at a time. Each
scan job can be managed separately with different image corrections and
even in different modes.
- Multiple sampling: Reduces random
image noise, which is a prime offender in affecting the quality of
scanned images. Microtek's multiple sampling technique optimizes image
data while reducing data variation. Each scanned line is sample
multiple times, and an average is obtained to distill top-quality data,
effectively minimizing signal fluctuation and artifacts. This results
in purer image output, greatly enhancing the optical density range.
- ScanWizard Pro software: Allows for direct CMYK, LAB,
high-bit RGB (for full 36-bit image data to Adobe Photoshop), 24-bit
RGB, Web Color, and Indexed Color scanning. Provides a multitude of
pre-scan adjustment tools, including downloadable gamma curves, dynamic
range control, user-definable white and black point control,
customizable descreening, LCH color space, selective color control, and
much more.
- LANShare Integrated LAN scanner sharing utility:
Lets you access the scanner over a local area network (LAN). Allows
multiple users to use the same scanner hardware. More versatility and
ease of use for network image sharing. Easy-to-understand icons and
network messaging lets all users on the network know the exact status
of their scanning jobs and when the scanner is available for access.
- LaserSoft SilverFast Ai 6.0: Adds best-of-class scanning
performance for maximum professional image manipulation. Intuitive
user-friendly interface. Real-time processing. Image-type
pre-selection. Super sharpness through unsharp-mask preview. Plug &
play-CMYK preview. Permanent softproof CMYK-Channel separation.
Multiple densitometer: Displays up to 4 densitometers and allows 4
unique measurements of the image to be displayed simultaneously.
- SilverFast Ai 6.0 dust and scratch removal and other new
features: SRD (Smart Removal of Defects) allows for the removal of dust
and sctaches during the scanning process. ACR (Adaptive Color Removal)
restores faded and weak colors from old media. SCC (Selective Color
Correction) permits the user to selectively change colors in up to four
places on the scan. SC2G (Selective Color To Grey) enables a controlled
change of color to grey. User can control details and highlights for
greater contrast. GANE (Grain and Noise Elimination) reduces magnitude
of film grain or any other abnormalities. MidPip4 allows the removal of
color cast in up to four points. SF_App is SilverFast's new stand-alone
application. SilverFast 6 also includes new QuickTime tutorials for
your convenience.
- SilverFast Ai 6.0 NegaFix for superior
negative film scanning quality: Adjust and process any negative for
optimum results with ability to create your own negative profiles.
NegaFix is a real-time negative film optimization facility that has
been designed to handle many different types of negative film
(black-and-white and color). Includes 120 film profiles for consistency
and easier accuracy than ever before. Film options include vendor,
type, group, and film speed.
- Microtek LANShare? is a
scanner-sharing utility (PC only) that lets you access the 1800f over a
local area network
