Main : A3 Scanner : ScanMaker 1000XL

The ScanMaker 1000XL is a tabloid-size scanner with a 12" x 17" scan bed, 6400 x 3200-dpi optical resolution, 4.0 maximum optical density, and dual FireWire and Hi-Speed USB interfaces. With the use of the TMA 1000XL Transparent Media Adapter (available as either a standard or an optional equipment), you can also scan films and transparencies - including X-rays (up to 12" x 16" in size). Designed for graphic artists, photographers and publishing professionals who require greater productivity, the ScanMaker 1000XL includes tools that streamline the image editing workflow to yield higher productivity. Better yet, the ScanMaker 1000XL integrates the exclusive DIGITAL ICE Photo Print Technology and ColoRescue, delivering the first-ever combined photo reconstruction and restoration solution. With the ScanMaker 1000XL, graphic designers, professional photographers and print publishers can reconstruct photos with cracks, tears, creases and scratches often at least ten times faster than manual photo reconstruction techniques, depending on the extent of damage.

Features and Benefits

Large 12" x 17" scan bed	The tabloid-size scan bed of the ScanMaker 1000XL lets you easily scan oversized originals, contact sheets, large pieces of art, mechanical blueprints, and X-rays.
Network scanning support (for Windows) for sharing the scanner among clients and servers on a network	Lets you access the scanner over a local area network (LAN) and allows multiple users to use the same scanner. Increases versatility and ease of use for network image sharing. Easy-to-understand icons and network messaging let all users on the network know exact status of their scanning jobs and when scanner is available for access.
Transparent Media Adapter Support	The TMA 1000XL is available as either a standard equipment or an optional accessory (depending on the configuration of the ScanMaker 1000XL that you purchased). With the use of the TMA 1000XL, you can scan X-rays, positive transparencies, and negative films. The included templates accommodate a variety of film sizes, including 35mm slides, 35mm filmstrips, 4" x 5" films, and medium format films from 6 x 4.5-cm up to 6 x 17-cm panoramic film.
Valued Software Pack	The ScanMaker 1000XL comes with a generous software and accessories package ,which may include Adobe Photoshop Elements, Microtek ScanWizard Pro integrated Kodak Digital Science Color management system and scanner profiler, ABBYY FineReader Sprint OCR, and InterVideo MediaOne Gallery for image viewer and multimedia file management. LaserSoft Imaging SilverFast Ai (or SilverFast Ai & HDR ) is available as either standard bundle or optional software (depending on the configuration of the ScanMaker 1000XL that you purchased).
Superior Quality with Microtek	Random noise is a prime agent in affecting the quality of scanned images. With Multiple Sampling, each scanned line is sampled multiple times (frequency determined by the user in 2, 4 or 8 options), and an average is obtained to distill top-quality data. This technique effectively minimizes signal fluctuation and artifacts, resulting in purer image output to greatly enhance the optical density range.
X-Ray Scanning Capability for Medical Professionals	The ScanMaker 1000XL also captures details in highlight and shadow areas at a high optical density range of 4.0 Dmax, optical resolution of 3200 dpi and 16-bit of stored data. This provides Medical Professionals a solution to digitize their roentgenogram for electronic data storage convenience.
Ultra-fast scanning with FireWire and Hi-Speed USB connectivity	Microtek's special electronic design provides both FireWire and Hi-Speed USB (USB 2.0) connections. By simply connecting the FireWire cable to your computer, you get 400 Mbps data transmission for fast, high-resolution image transfer. New Hi-Speed USB is capable of 480 Mbps data transfer, with true plug-and-play capability. All USB 2.0 devices are backward compatible with older USB 1.1 ports.
DIGITAL ICE Photo Print Technology	Unlike software only applications, DIGITAL ICE Photo Print Technology's integrated hardware and software automatically rebuilds prints without user intervention. DIGITAL ICE is exclusively designed and customized to be integrated into a particular scanner line for optimal print reconstruction results. DIGITAL ICE 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 producing an image that closely resembles the undamaged original.
Exceptional Image Quality	The ScanMaker 1000XL has a 41300-element CCD with resolution that reaches up to 3200 pixels per inch. With the built-in 48-bit ADC (Analog to Digital Converter), the ScanMaker 1000XL can convert originals to digital data with high fidelity format. It is capable of delivering full 48-bit depth color for richer and smoother tonal values, and an optical range of 4.0 Dmax allows users to capture details in highlight and shadow areas, as well as accurately represent gradation and natural color from originals without sacrificing details of the image.
ColorRescue Photo Restoration	Another Microtek-differentiated technology is ColoRescue, an automatic color recovery and control feature for faded, dull prints and film. This technology combines to offer a powerful, automatic photo reconstruction and restoration solution for faster turnaround and improved workflow efficiency.
