These 42" scanners will also capture accurately the finest details of maps, engineering drawings, blueprints, site plans, architectural renderings and many other technical documents in monochrome or colour at resolutions from 100 up to 9600dpi. Original images can be captured off media from 6", up to 48", wide by any length and the GxT versions provide motorised thick media scanning of mounted originals up to 0.8" (2cm) thickness.

The imaging system at the heart of the SmartLF Gx 42 scanners consists of five, ultra-compact, digital CCD camera units (DCUs). Each DCU is capable of scanning images at 1200 x 600dpi optical input resolution (max 600 x 600dpi optical output by the scanner) and captures 48-bit colour or 16-bit pan-chromatic monochrome data. The CCDs have 10,800 pixels of RGB triplets + panchromatic monochrome, a total of 216,000 pixels in the scanner.

SmartLF Gx 42 wide format scanners are ideal for professional service providers and reprographics bureaus, copyshops, graphic arts, design, mapping, survey and GIS professionals in any size of enterprise.

There are three versions of the SmartLF Gx 42 scanner with thin and thick media options:

Gx 42m / GxT 42m ~ capture the wide dynamic range of black and white photos and CAD drawings at speeds up to 6"/s

Gx 42c / GxT 42c ~ adds wide colour gamut scanning to the 42m with colour scan speeds up to 0.75"/s

Gx 42e / GxT 42e ~ adds express wide colour gamut scanning at speeds up to 3"/s

Any SmartLF Gx 42 or GxT 42 scanner can be upgraded to c or e. SmartLF scanners are the only colour upgradable scanners on the market.
