IPEX 2002 -- Products

Creo Inc. introduced the iQsmart line of flatbed scanners, including the iQ-smart2 (4,300x8,200 dpi optical resolution) and iQsmart3 (5,500x10,000 dpi). Both models feature the manufacturer's XY Stitch technology, which moves the scanning assembly along the X and Y axes of the scanning bed to enable capturing of originals at the maximum resolution, regardless of their size or placement on the platen. Their design features an inverted CCD to minimize dust spots and improve image quality. Also debuting was the Veris digital color proofer, a continuous-flow ink-jet system that produces four-up proofs. It uses a new Multi-Drop Array technology that enables it to output a true 1,500x1,500 dpi resolution by generating a greater number of smaller ink droplets. The proofer also introduces the Certified Proofing Process, which starts by verifying the device has been calibrated recently and that the correct calibration setup has been used.
