The Next Wave - Digital Directions

Bill Gillooly, product marketing manager, Input Systems, at Scitex, on the downfall of the drum scanner and the graduation of high-quality CCD flatbed functionality.

"Scitex believes that 1999 will be the year that the PMT drum scanner finally falls from its position as the preeminent professional scanner. With the current crop of high quality CCDs and the hardware and software enhancements that Scitex has applied to improving CCD image quality, such as CCD Dynamic Cooling and Scitex MaxDR, the PMT's days are numbered.
