HD Ultra X 36", 42" and 60" Scanners
The new standard for large format scanners
The HD Ultra X was designed to meet the needs of technical experts, graphical professionals, archivists and repro departments. Whether you intend to scan maps, drawings, posters, newspapers or fine art, this scanner will always capture every detail exactly as you see it.
HD Ultra X is the fastest collection of scanners Contex made. With a top speed of up to 17.8 ips, you can increase your workflow tempo significantly. You can also switch between three different speed levels directly on the scanner’s intuitive touch panel. If speed doesn’t impress you, look at the width.
This series includes the world’s first 60-inch CCD scanner, but also comes in 36- and 42-inch widths. The size-flexibility, Nextimage software and the unprecedented scan width gives you the flexibility to be smart and create a more efficient workflow.
With the HD Ultra X series, Contex used optimized LED lights, so you don’t have to think about replacing the lamps. Nor do you have to worry about maintenance. Best of all, the glass is super-resistant to scratches.
This all adds up to the most efficient and flexible large format scanner series on the market.
