How the scanner works
and why it is so precise with details and colors.

The original is put on the scan-bed. The scan-bed moves under the camera and shoots more than 25.000 shots on a full bed.
Thus the original is always in the sweet spot of the lens.
You get nothing better for your money.
Even 240 ppi are excellent with this scanning system.

And the lamps are only appr. 1" away from the original and cover the whole width of the piece of art. Thus you get an extremely evenly lit scan.

The German Schneider lens is a special development and gives you details of 90 line-pairs per millimeter whereas regular cameras give you only 20 line pairs.
(A line-pair is a line and a blank.)

With special accesories and self developed proceedings we get the best out of you art.

 

 

Our
Cruse Fine Art Synchron Table is a piece of engineering art by itself.
It consists of a big steel table with a movable bed, an extremely solid copy stand (1,700 pound), a very superior lens, and a highest end camera back.

The camera is a Kodak
camera-back with a resolution of up to 1,000 ppi, depending on the size of the original.
The camera-back has three rows
of CCDs ("eyes"), each holds
14,800 "eyes".
One row for Red, one for Green and one for Blue. That makes
44,400 "eyes" looking at your
original.

We can give you scans with
1 bit, 8 bit and 16 bit
(all B&W).
24 and 48 bit are reserved for color scans.
