Latest achievements from the leader in desktop film scanning
Dynamic, sophisticated core technologies. A history of excellence in digital imaging. World-renowned optics. These are the
attributes that have made Nikon the dominant force in the desktop film scanning market.
Nikon’s SUPER COOLSCAN scanners are available in two models, each offering superior optical components, color
reproduction and image correction functions, along with incomparable operability. Both models, also possess defining
capabilities that, when integrated with Nikon’s advanced core technologies, make them the best in their class.
Whether for home use or for application in small- to large-scale business operations, Nikon SUPER COOLSCAN desktop
film scanners get the job done — better and faster than any in the field.

The Nikon Dif fe rence — ex clusi ve c or e te ch nolog ie s
for unrival ed p er fo rm ance
In the two decades since Nikon unveiled the first film scanner,
we have accumulated considerable expertise and applied it to
the development of exclusive, cutting-edge
technologies. They serve as the foundation for the unparalleled
performance offered by both SUPER COOLSCAN models.
Scanner Nikkor ED lens
The single most important element in
the production of high-quality scans is
the lens. As you would expect from a
world leader in optical technology, Nikon
has incorporated lenses of the highest
quality in our film scanners. Compared
to ordinary glass, our ED (Extra-low Dispersion) lens elements are
superior in edge-to-edge sharpness, definition and contrast, as well
as color registration, saturation and accuracy. No other scanner
manufacturer can match this level of optical performance.
Low-heat, high-accuracy LED light source
Most competitors’ scanners use
halogen or fluorescent lamps as light
sources, but they require time to warm
up and the heat they generate can
cause damage to film. Nikon’s SUPER
COOLSCAN models are the only scanners to employ LEDs as their source of light. LEDs are a stable,
precise light source requiring neither maintenance nor warmup
time, and there’s no risk of your film suffering heat-related damage.
LED illumination also assures stability in color characteristics, which
contributes to faithful reproduction.
Nikon Color Management System
The Nikon Color Management System,
or Nikon CMS, provides consistently
accurate reproduction of image data on
monitors and in printouts. This powerful
tool permits the manipulation of colors
in the calibrated RGB color spaces
before the data are transferred to the host application. Profiles
detailing the color characteristics and the output device (monitor or
printer) ensure high color-accuracy in almost any operating environment. Both of Nikon’s SUPER COOLSCAN scanners are compatible
with ICC (International Color Consortium) version 4 standards.
Digital ICE4 Advanced™
Nikon’s world-renowned optics and
innovative lighting help to optimize the
effectiveness of Digital ICE
Advanced™ components, making Nikon
scanners and the automatic image
correction technology an ideal match.
These latest editions of Nikon’s COOLSCAN film scanners are the first
ever to offer Digital ICE™, Digital ROC™, Digital GEM™ and Digital
DEE™ all in one package. In addition to providing superb image
correction, the power of these technologies also serves to improve
the time- and cost-efficiency of your enterprise, regardless of scale.
Digital ICE4 Advanced™ are technologies developed by Applied Science Fiction.
