Arcus II Color Scanner

The high-sensitivity, precision, and speed of the Agfa Arcus II color scanner makes it an obvious choice for many professional applications. Images can be scanned with Arcus II for use in magazines, newspapers, and catalogs. Its 68-billion color sensitivity pulls additional detail from shadow areas and reaches the 3.0D density range of transparencies, with a maximum density of 3.2D. The additional TWAIN driver also allows Arcus II to be used in OCR applications and electronic publishing. Arcus II is an excellent all-round scanner at a moderate price.
