ScanMaker i900

Wins Hot1 Award from

Professional Photographer

Magazine

New York City (October 4, 2004) -- Microtek today announced the ScanMaker® i900 among the select group of 2004 Hot1 Award winners from Professional Photographer Magazine. This is the second consecutive year that Microtek has garnered the award, with the ArtixScan® 120tf multiformat film scanner achieving this honor in 2003.

The ScanMaker i900 is a 3200-dpi, dual media scanner offering a host of exclusive technologies, including Microtek's PictuRescue™ system with DIGITAL ICE Photo Print Technology and ColoRescue™. DIGITAL ICE Photo Print Technology reconstructs surface-damaged photos by eliminating rips and scratches, while the ColoRescue automatic color recovery system renews faded colors in both prints and film to their original vibrant tones.

The ScanMaker i900 also features E.D.I.T.™, a patented "glassless" scanning system built into the lower bay of Microtek's dual media scanners, allowing the scanner CCD to directly read the emulsion side of the film during scanning without any interfering pane of glass. This effectively eliminates problems associated with normal glass transparency scanning like Newton Rings, resulting in distortion-free images.

Other significant features of the i900 are 4.2 maximum optical density, 6400 x 3200 dpi, FireWire and Hi-Speed USB connectivity, 8.5" x 14" legal scan bed size, and multiformat film scanning of various film types -- including 35mm mounted slides, 35mm filmstrips, medium-format film, and 4"x5" film.

The ScanMaker i900 comes with a robust software package, including SilverFast Ai 6 from LaserSoft Imaging, with its renowned film-handling capability for photographers.
