Scanning
Superiority
The CRYSTAL XL 42" sets new standards for wide-format scanning
speeds, scanning a full E-size (A0) drawing at 400 dpi turbo
in only 6 seconds. An image depends on its many graytones
to bring out details and give it depth. On the CRYSTAL, graytones
are captured at 12 bits for maximum precision, passing the
best 8 bits of graytone data to the computer. The CRYSTAL
supports calibration of black-and-white points for reduction
of noise in the dynamic range and clean scans every time.
