DuoScan Color Scanner

DuoScan is a versatile, high-resolution scanner that incorporates an innovative TwinPlate Scanning Technology, enabling users to scan reflective artwork and transparencies on independent scan beds within a single, integrated unit. Transparencies are placed on a tray, which slides into the body of the scanner. A single carriage, carrying light sources, optics, and a CCD sensor, traverses between the upper glass plate for reflectives and the transparency tray below. The only mechanical movement that occurs when you switch from reflective to transparency scanning is the rotation of the single mirror.

Features:

  • Innovative TwinPlate Scanning Technology which increases color consistency, scanning resolution and speed, while reducing mechanical complexity.

  • One pass scanner that works with a tri-linear coated CCD, resulting in considerably higher speeds for color registration.

  • 8000 element CCD with a true optical resolution of 1000 x 2000 ppi.

  • A cold cathode lamp--which has five times the life-expectancy of fluorescent tubes--to reduce heat output and maximize color stability.

  • No glass in the optical path between the original and the lens at the inner bed of the DuoScan, providing precise focus control when scanning transparencies.

  • Agfa FotoLook driver software and batch slide holders to allow users to batch scan any combination of reflective artwork and transparencies in unattended mode.

  • Agfa FotoFlavor color correction and enhancement software for a simple and efficient way to make selective color, contrast, and density changes to images.
