Fortunately, the Flextight 646 is capable of scanning a 40 MB image in just one minute. To save even more time during post-scan retouch, add the optional FlexTouch dust-and-scratch removal software, which works automatically during output.

Logical Technology
At Imacon, we consider simplicity in construction to be one of our most important design principles. This means designing for strength and reliability, using the best-possible components and avoiding materials that might require extra calibration due to irregularities that may appear during manufacturing or over time. This principle is well illustrated by Flextight's unique original-handling system.

Traditionally, scanners have been designed to require glass plates and/or gel to keep the originals straight, flat and sharp during scanning. Glass must be kept clean and adds image distortions and other unwanted artifacts to your scans. Flextight uses glass-free original holders that flex the original during scanning to form a completely straight scan line that places nothing between the original and the electronic image sensor.

Imacon scanners are designed to capture all of details in your the original image nothing more and nothing less. If something should be left out, this will be your decision and not the scanner's.
