Microtek launches new flatbed scanner
MUMBAI -- Microtek Computers (Asia) Ltd. and Rashi Peripherals
have recently announced the new Microtek ScanMaker 6800
flatbed scanner that uses Applied Science Fiction's
(ASF) Digital ICE technology for photo prints. ASF is
the creator of the award-winning Digital ICE and Digital
ICE3 technologies, the leader of automatic photo restoration
applications and the inventor of the cutting-edge digital
dry film processing system, Digital PIC.
The
Microtek ScanMaker 6800 is claimed to be the first flatbed
scanner to integrate ASF's Digital ICE technology for
photo prints, transforming the traditional photo restoration
process into one that is automatic, fast and economical.
The hardware and software integration allows users to
scan a damaged photo print and apply Digital ICE for
photo correction as shown in sample images. In seconds,
the combined technology removes dust and lint, while
also correcting most scratches and cracks commonly found
on photo print surfaces, bringing photo memories back
to life in near-original condition.
Digital
ICE for photo prints creates a defect map to identify
the precise locations of physical defects or visual
'noise' on a print being scanned. Differential shadowing
technology and proprietary software algorithms quickly
and automatically eliminate the unwanted defects. The
scanner offers best-of-class digital imaging quality
such as 48-bit color, 4,800x2,400dpi optical resolution,
FireWire and USB 2.0 connectivity, a built-in 4"x5"
transparency light plate, and 8.5"x11.7" scan
area.
The
Microtek ScanMaker 6800 carries an MRP of Rs. 36,000,
and is available through Rashi's 25 branches all over
India or through Microtek Imaging Solution Provider,
system integrators and value-added resellers. It includes
Adobe Photoshop elements; ABBYY FineReader Sprint for
optical character recognition (OCR); Microtek's scan,
color copy and email utilities; ScanWizard 5 scanner
controller software and the Microtek LAN wizard networking
utility; USB 2.0 cable; and PCI FireWire host controller
card and cable.
Sanjay
Aggarwal, business manager, Rashi Peripherals, said:
"Our relationship with Microtek has now materialised
into the availability of a high-value scanning solution.
The Microtek ScanMaker 6800 is integrated with Digital
ICE technology and will revolutionise the way photographs
are restored. This combination differentiates the ScanMaker
6800 from any other flatbed-scanning package available
in the market."
