Description

Contex HD APEIRON/42:

HD Apeiron/42 is a flexible scanner with natural light LEDs that do not compromise on scan quality and reliability when digitizing original artwork and fine art. Contact-free scanning process with full light control and no UV/IR radiation makes this scanner a fantastic choice to safely scan large format fine art, delicate documents, and artwork without the risk of wear and tear. Or when you need to emphasize the unique surface details of building materials and textiles, for example, online or in print.

PERFECT FOR: Fine art, artwork, artifacts, posters and prints, building materials, textiles, delicate documents, and much more.

FIVE MAIN FEATURES:

6 ips in 300 dpi and 24-bit colour. 3D effect scanning at 2.75 ips in 300 dpi and 24-bit colour

The ICC Colour Management in Nextimage Apeiron software is made with X-Rite® colour profiling.

Included and dedicated Nextimage Apeiron software based on the award-winning Nextimage software.

HD Apeiron/42 is operated on a 22” touchscreen monitor with an adjustable arm for optimal ergonomics.

Like all other Contex large format scanners – HD Apeiron/42 is Energy Star 3.0 certified.

This is especially suited for museums, copy shops, material manufacturers, and others, who now have a powerful new way to boost the quality of detailed and delicate originals with unprecedented accuracy. The clearance height of 10 inches (254 mm) and an optimal focus plane of up to 5.1 inches (130 mm) enables scanning of thicker media, such as framed artwork or wood works or samples of building materials.

Six cameras with Fujifilm lenses and quad-linear Toshiba color CCDs capture all details in up to 1200 dpi optical resolution. The lamps in HD Apeiron/42 recreate the natural daylight spectrum using cutting-edge LEDs with TRI-RTM technology. This, plus the clever design of LED strips mounted in elliptical reflectors, results in correct and uniform colors – and no distance fading. Creating expressive shadows and highlights to add lifelike 3D surface sensations is also easy. HD Apeiron/42 offers four different lamp positions. The museum-correct light with no UV/IR radiation conserves the art.

HD Apeiron/42 is the fastest contact-free large format scanner on the market. A flexible solution; it improves workflows while ensuring superior quality. The hardware is designed to support correct ergonomics for the operator; this includes an adjustable arm with a large 22” touchscreen.

A customized and easy-to-operate version of Contex Nextimage award-winning software, Nextimage Apeiron, is included. All required parameters are readily accessible on the touchscreen rather than hidden behind tabs or dropdown menus. A variety of post-scanning options also allow the user to adjust parameters and effects, if desired.

CCD

Contex uses All-Digital cameras with advanced point-of-origin capture and onboard digital conversion ensuring minimum noise and an extended dynamic range. The unique four-linear CCD technology, with a special panchromatic line, ensures that no colors are lost when scanning monochrome. Quality colormatched LED lighting ensures the market’s highest standards for color correctness.

FUJIFILM LENSES - A CONTEX CCD TECHNOLOGY

Like photography, scanned image quality depends heavily on lens quality. Using lenses that are specifically designed for the scanning resolution will ensure against various problems, from uneven sharpness to chromatic errors and color fringing (black lines showing up in color). All Contex CCD scanners use high quality custom Fujifilm lenses to give you the best possible output.

X-Rite ICC PROFILES

Using X-Rite generated profiles ensures the highest possible color accuracy for demanding customers. X-Rite is the global leader in color science and technology.

TABLE CONVEYANCE SYSTEM

The table of HD Apeiron/42 is moved by a precision timing belt transmission. Together with precise and extremely wear resistant support rollers on each side of the table, this forms our stable triple-point direction control system – a Contex technology.

HD Apeiron/42 LAMO & LIGHT TECHNOLOGIES

Dual LED strips mounted in elliptical reflectors result in correct and uniform colors – and no distance fading. The museum-correct light with no UV/IR radiation uniformly illuminates in all three dimensions, while the scan module shields off ambient light. We use LEDs with TRI-R technology. The combination of cutting-edge LED technology and phosphor (patented technology) recreates the natural light spectrum.

Adobe RGB, DEVICE RGB & sRGB

Contex CCD scanners have several different options for color space. In addition to the common sRGB our large format scanners also offers color spaces with a wider gamut as preferred by color specialists. Adobe RGB and Device RGB has a larger color gamut than sRGB. This allows differences in very bright and saturated colors to be maintained in your digital file.

GIGIBIT ETHERNET xDTR2.5

Optimized for up to 100 MB per second. Up to 60% faster transfer rate than with xDTR2 thanks to new improved electronics.

USB 3.0 SuperSpeed xDTR3

CONTEX have adapted their xDTR technology to work with the USB 3.0 SuperSpeed protocol increasing its performance dramatically. It has the fastest data transfer rate of any scanner on the market.

Gbit THROTTLING BUFFER CONTROL

1GB buffer eliminates scanner pausing. Maintain your scan speeds and meet those deadlines

ALE

Accuracy Lens Enhancement (ALE) technology that electronically maintains 0.1% +- pixel precision across any two points of the scan line thus exceeding even the most rigid requirements in the industry today. Contex delivers a very high grade of precision stability in the scanned image.

AccuColor

To get the best results, your scanner and software should work with full 48-bit data. Where other scanners ignore some of this data, newer Contex scanners work with true 48-bit color capture.
