What's New
On June 1, 1996, Mentalix, Inc. and UMAX Technologies, Inc. announced that they have entered into a strategic marketing alliance that gives Mentalix rights to offer its UNIX software drivers for UMAX's VISTA-S12, PowerLook II, and Mirage D-16L scanners. The agreement also names Mentalix as an authorized UMAX reseller and enables the company to offer UNIX solutions that include their Pixel!FX family of imaging software and UMAX scanning devices. In addition, UMAX recognizes Mentalix as the exclusive provider of UNIX solutions for UMAX scanners.
Mentalix offers users a choice among three UMAX color scanners; VISTA-S12, PowerLook II and Mirage D-16L; to serve a broad array of scanning needs. The VISTA-S12 is a high-speed scanner designed for users with low- to medium-volume requirements, while the PowerLook II approaches drum scanner quality in a flatbed scanner for the pre-press market. For professionals who require a high-performance scanner for large image scanning and mass production, the Mirage D-16L is the fastest, large-format, flatbed scanner on the market today.
"We're pleased to present a single solution for UNIX users' imaging and scanning needs," Paul Siegert, President of Mentalix, Inc., said. "We're teaming our Pixel!FX leading UNIX-based imaging software with state-of-the-art hardware from UMAX Technologies for the most full-featured, cost-effective, UNIX-based imaging solution available."
Vincent Tai, President of UMAX Technologies, Inc., shares Siegert's enthusiasm. "UMAX is excited to further expand our coverage in the UNIX marketplace teamed with such a reputable imaging and scanning software developer," said Tai. "Mentalix has a strong UNIX customer base, and now we can offer these customers our award-winning scanners paired with Pixel!FX."
The Pixel!FX suite of image processing products is the industry's premier solution for image scanning, annotation, editing, printing, storage, retrieval and processing on UNIX platforms. In addition, the software runs on all popular UNIX platforms, including Sun OS, Sun Solaris, HP-UX, IBM AIX, SGI IRIX, Digital UNIX and DG.
A comprehensive, end-to-end imaging solution, Pixel!FX features image import/export, scanning, viewing, photo retouch, and image processing functionality. The suite includes a database, which allows the user to store and retrieve images according to title, image or keyword description. The Pixel!FX family of products provides not only image scanning capabilities, but also includes an OCR component for scanning text and converting it to an ASCII-readable format -- with up to 99.5 percent accuracy in text recognition. The entire suite of integrated imaging products can be purchased in one solution, Pixel!FX Deluxe. Mentalix also offers each application as a standalone product, including: Pixel!SCAN, Pixel!EDIT, Pixel!VIEW, Pixel!OCR, Pixel!DB, Pixel!PRINT, and Pixel!LZW. A plug-in for Adobe Photoshop for UNIX is also available.
