New HD Ultra Wide Format Scanner Series From Contex
COPENHAGEN, Denmark, July 4, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
Now Offers 48-bit Color Processing, 8-inch-per-second Scanning; Comes Standard with
1200 dpi, GB Ethernet
Contex, the world's leading developer of wide format scanning and imaging solutions,
today announces a host of enhancements to the HD Ultra wide format scanner series.
Released less than a year ago to rave reviews, the HD Ultra raises the bar even higher
with unprecedented speed, color accuracy, and imaging processing. The wide format device
now scans at an astounding 8 inches per second in color, or 642 ISO A0 documents per hour
-- clocking in at twice the speed of its competitors. New color spaces, with color
accuracy ensured by X-Rite, give users additional options to represent scanned colors. The
full 48-bit color image processing feature also delivers unmatched image reproduction.

"We are delivering the fastest, most advanced wide format scanners in the market at
competitive prices," states Morten Nielsen, Product Manager, Contex A/S. "The new HD Ultra
with Adobe RGB and additional color spaces sets new standards for quality in wide format
scanning. This is a tremendous advantage in productivity for our customers."
New Color Spaces with X-Rite for Color Accuracy
The HD Ultra boasts new color spaces, Adobe RGB and Device RGB. Adobe RGB, the preferred
choice of many color professionals, allows for differences in very bright and saturated
colors. Device RGB delivers colors as they are scanned, maintaining all the variations
registered by the scanner. The default sRGB color space transforms the scanned colors into
the sRGB standard, resulting in vivid images. Color accuracy with the HD Ultra is ensured
with X-Rite ICC profiles.
Additionally, the new HD Ultra provides unparalleled color reproduction with full
48-bit color processing, unlike the traditional 48-bit capture and 24-bit processing from
other scanners. It also produces both the 24-bit (processed from 48-bit) and the full
48-bit raw image TIFF files. The greater bit-depth--delivering more than 280 trillion
colors versus only millions--gives users unprecedented control over the scanned image.
Pricing and Availability
The new HD Ultra is available in six models. Users can choose color or monochrome
models with varying scanning speeds and width. All models are fully upgradable and come
standard with 1200 dpi and GB Ethernet.
The HD Ultra is also available as an MFP, which turns a user's large-format printer
into a copier, while saving space.
The new HD Ultra begins shipping in July. Pre-orders are available through Contex's
distribution channel. For more information about HD Ultra, view
