The IDEAL/Contex CHROMA G600 Color Scanners include a thirty-day timed out version of JETimage NETwhich performs image capture, color mapping, and transfer directly to a standard inkjet plotter. The IDEAL/Contex CHROMA G600 Scanners support Area Diffusion Logic (ADL) which allows documents containing mixed photographic and lineart (including text) areas to be captured with greater detail. These new scanners incorporate the 3C Auto-Maintenance system that keeps the cameras perfectly aligned, adjusted, and calibrated for optimal image quality. The 3C Auto-Maintenance system aligns and stitches the cameras to a fraction of a pixel giving the highest wide format image precision available.

The IDEAL/Contex CHROMA G600 Color Scanners use Accuracy Lens Enhancement Technology (ALE) that electronically maintains

0.1% +/- 1 pixel precision across any two points of the scan line thus exceeding even the most rigid requirements. With these scanners there is a very grade of precision stability in the scanned image.

The IDEAL/Contex CHROMA G600 Color Scanners have variable resolution settings from 50 to 1200 dpi for the Basic Model and 50 to 9600 dpi for the Plus Model, selectable in one dpi increments to match user requirements. The Plus model scanner can scan a typical E-Size color original at 3.0" per second at 400 dpi turbo. The IDEAL/Contex CHROMA G600 Color Scanners require WIDEimage NET, the operating software for color scanning. The IDEAL/Contex CHROMA G600 Color Scanners can extract color and patterns of color into separate layers which can then be converted to DXF and DGN vector files with WiseImage.

ScanOS, intelligent title block content recognition software with builtin, breakthrough OCR technology, automatically extracts title block information from scanned drawings to an archive database. ScanOS, an optional software package from IDEAL, provides a solution to the bottleneck problem of indexing hundreds and thousands of drawings during and after the scanning process. Edit drawings in raster with the same ease as editing a CAD file using WiseImage, an optional intelligent raster editing software package from IDEAL. WiseImage is a powerful drawing editor that performs raster to vector conversion and OCR.
