the scan head directly below the center of each image, regardless of where the original is placed on the scanning area. The technology assures uniform sharpness and high optical resolution of up to 5,600 dpi everywhere on the scanner format. Highest image quality is maintained even with large originals. For example, an 8x10 inch image is scanned in several strips at a record-breaking scanning resolution of up to 14,000 dpi, capturing maximum information. Stitching is performed on-the-fly to further increase productivity.
CCD Dynamic Cooling system -By optimizing CCD sensitivity, the dynamic cooling enables the scanner to better differentiate a wide range of color tones. While continually monitoring ambient temperature and humidity levels, the Dynamic Cooling system actively cools the CCD to maintain it at its optimum temperature. This results in top-quality images with maximum detail everywhere.Regardless of original image size, the EverSmart Supreme scanner provides a consistently high resolution for uniform sharpness and quality. Since other scanners cannot perform stitching they use zooming, causing resolution to drop drastically when image size is increased Together, thermo-electric coolers, cooling plates, fans and a cooling control board actively cool the CCD to maximize its sensitivity.
EverSmart MaxDR -The quality of an image can be optimized with MaxDR (Maximum Dynamic Range). This technique distills high-quality image data from additional scanned data to improve the dynamic range in dark to mid-tone areas.Working together CCD Dynamic Cooling and MaxDR produce a record maximum density value of 4.3 for superb shadow detail.
Multiple sampling is performed on each line of an image, with the same line being sampled three times, or more. The samples are then averaged to produce high-quality data, resulting in clean, sharp images.
Parallel Workflow for High Productivity
The EverSmart Supreme scanner excels in productivity.Parallel workflow enables you to interactively set parameters for a previewed image in the foreground, while the scanner captures and processes other images in the background. Parallel workflow enables over 65 scans an hour. Moreover, XY Stitch scanning technology provides full-board productivity, enabling you to scan up to seventy 35mm images in the same high optical resolution of up to 5,600 dpi, all in one job.
Full Scanning Media and Workflow Flexibility
All input originals can be scanned including: transparent and reflective, positive and negative, color or black-and-white, printed material,lineart, framed slides and screened films. In addition, the scanner offers complete flexibility in image size, thickness, material and format. The EverSmart Supreme scanner supports all standard types of scanning workflows: CMYK for printing, and RGB for second generation images, archiving and online screen applications. In addition, ICC is fully supported for working in color management environments.
16 Bit Workflow for Enhanced Image Quality
The oXYgen scanning application features the Scan Once, Output Many (SOOM) workflow. Image information is captured as a pure 16 bit digital transparency (DT) file. The DT file is archived and can then be opened offline and re-purposed for any use.
The oXYgen application is designed with strong emphasis on flexibility, quality and productivity. It provides professional image editing and proofing tools with a highly intuitive, icon based, workflow-oriented interface. For example, LS Curves enables color correction by modifying the luminance and saturation values of a selected color. Split Screen allows side-by-side, before-and-after viewing.
Professional Image-Editing and Proofing Tools for Full Control
The scanning application provides an intuitive, workflow-oriented interface for facilitating image control. It includes a host of scanning controls, such as end points, global and selective color correction, as well as sharpness, gradation, LS curve and gray controls offering several levels of operation to help you achieve the exact results you want. These tools are available in all scanning modes, including negative. The powerful SmartSet function automatically analyzes the image resulting in optimal scanned quality. It performs tone reproduction, gradation, sharpness and color transformation on the fly. Moreover, several soft proofing features improve output predictability. These include a Split Screen feature, which allows side-by-side, before-and-after viewing of an image. ICC soft proofing is also available to preview the output result of the scan with different output profiles.
Optional oXYgen DOT Solution
The oXYgen DOT Solution is composed of two applications, oXYgen DOT and the oXYgen DOT Toolkit. oXYgen DOT is a scanning application that digitizes the screened films to deliver superb copydot and descreened quality. The Toolkit provides advanced functions for customizing the image for any purpose or output device-such as automatic registration, bitmap editing, resampling, tone calibration, digital descreening and more. Together, they provide a complete copydot scanning solution, enabling a SOOM workflow for re-purposing halftone film for any output device, as many times as needed.
Oil Mounting Station for Enhanced Image Quality
The first offline mounting station designed for flatbed scanners, the Oil Mounting Station preserves image quality and enhances productivity. Oil mounting is used when images are to be enlarged by more than 800%, or if the original is scratched. Bathing a scratched film in a layer of scanning oil conceals scratches so that post scan retouching is minimized, saving both time and operation costs. Oil Mounting also enhances overall image quality by 'reducing' image grain.
