Lamp and light technologies

Dual LED strips mounted in elliptical reflectors result in correct and uniform colors – and no distance fading. The light uniformly illuminates in all three dimensions, while the scan module shields off ambient light. No UV or IR radiation.
Colors are precisely captured and rendered with an ICC color management profile powered by X-Rite® and the color rendering index (CRI) is above 98, an industry "excellent" value.

3D effect

A two-position lamp lever on each side of the scan module gives a total of four different lamp positions. This way you can test which light combination is better for successfully scanning your particular type of original.
HD Apeiron/42 has a 3D effect option to emphasize the unique texture and surface of originals.

High resolution, seamless stitching

Featuring six Fujifilm® lenses and quad-linear Toshiba® color CCDs, this scanner achieves an optical resolution of up to 1200 dpi.
A laser-controlled camera adjustment and motorized focus adjustment ensure pinpoint precision and seamless stitching across all cameras. Any height differences in the surface of the original is no problem.

Precise digitization of thick and heavy original artwork and artifacts

The table is moved by a precision timing belt transmission, together with precise and extremely wear resistant support rollers on either side and rollers tracing the centre rail, this forms a stable triplepoint direction control system.
The large 254 mm clearance height and an optimal focus plane of up to 130 mm above the table enables scanning of thicker media, such as framed artwork or wood works or samples of building materials.
