IDEAL Introduces Contex SD Scanners

Today IDEAL and their extensive dealer channel begin taking orders for the newly launched Contex SD Series - a new range of high production, affordable large format scanners. The SD Series leads the industry with the highest resolution, ease of use and speed available in its class, making it the best product range on the market for scanning technical drawings or maps in color or monochrome.

IDEAL is Contex's Distributor of the Year and for many years has maintained that position by including Contex's high-quality, CCD-based scanners in their large format imaging solutions. IDEAL recently announced the addition of Contex's HD Series scanners that deliver the most advanced scanning technology in the industry. The addition of the CIS-based SD scanners broadens the range of options that IDEAL offers.

"Today's announcement of the SD Series scanners adds a new dimension to the solutions that IDEAL offers," says Phil Magenheim, Vice President. "Now IDEAL can offer economical SD scanning solutions to companies that work with line-art drawings, CAD prints, simple color maps, or even text or data logs."

"We're very pleased that Contex has used its CCD large format scanner expertise to create a new generation of affordable large format CIS scanners," adds Jay Magenheim, president. He adds, "The CIS technology that Contex uses leap-frogs the technology ahead. It has been specially designed to give the best image quality on the market, and the professional design of the SD scanners maintains Contex's reputation as the scanner for professionals."

The new SD Series offers:

  • Innovative technology for outstanding images
  • 1,200 dpi optical resolution for great reproductions of even the most complex drawings or maps

  • More affordable to purchase and maintain
  • Low-maintenance design and Energy Star compliance for lower operating costs
  • Easy-to-replace spare parts and service-friendly design
