Description

The ArtixScan M1, a combined flatbed and film scanner for 35mm, 6cm, & 4x5" film formats that also offers additional functionality to scan reflective art or prints as large as 8.5 by 14"

Equipped with Microtek's patented Emulsion Direct Imaging Technology(E.D.I.T.), 4800-dpi optical resolution, 16-bit digital output per channel, auto focus, & new film holders with tension technology, the Microtek ArtixScanM1 offers extraordinary value to photographers, photo enthusiasts, & graphic designers in need of high-quality scans

The ArtixScan M1 is the first in a new line of flatbed scanners from Microtek that will deliver outstanding images from both film scans & reflective scans. The reflective scanning capability of flatbed scanners has been outstanding for several years, but the film scanning capabilities of flatbed scanners lagged behind the dedicated film scanners

By advancing the optical resolution to 4800 dpi with the E.D.I.T. scanning architecture, the film scanning capability of the new flatbed scanners from Microtek will surpass the film scanning capability of dedicated film scanners while maintaining outstanding reflective scanning capability. Excelling at both film & reflective scanning, these new flatbed scanners will offer greater versatility & value to photographers, photo enthusiasts, & graphic designers

Emulsion Direct Imaging Technology (E.D.I.T.)
E.D.I.T. is a unique technology exclusive to Microtek that allows the optical system to scan the film emulsion without looking through the glass plate that supports reflective materials on the flatbed scanner. With E.D.I.T, the film is supported in a tray inside the scanner below the glass plate. The glassless scanning enables clearer scans of the film because it avoids the optical distortions, aberrations, & dirt that can appear in a scan that passes through the glass plate of a typical flatbed scanner
· High-performance Scanning Capabilities
With 4800-dpi optical resolution & 48 bits per pixel, a scan of 35mm film on the Microtek ArtixScan M1 will produce an image file that is the same as an image file from a 34-megapixel digital SLR camera. The resulting detail in the scan of 35mm film will enable prints up to 16x24" while still holding 300 pixels per inch at that print size

In addition, large-format prints from 35mm scans can be made up to 24x36" while still holding 200 pixels per inch at that print size. Professional photographers & photo enthusiasts will be able to fully utilize the printable area offered by their photo printers from scans of 35mm film & larger film sizes

Software & Color Management
Continuing a strong partnership with LaserSoft Imaging, the Microtek ArtixScan M1 will include the popular SilverFast software offering an intuitive user interface & professional controls over the scanning parameters. Of the many outstanding features of the SilverFast software is fully-integrated color management based on ICC standards.
