Debuts In The Desert

Though recent Scitex headlines have focused on its agreement to merge prepress businesses with Creo Products, the announcements at this event showed that Scitex is moving right ahead in its development of prepress products.

A Digital Transparency

At the top of the list of new technologies, Scitex revealed its Digital Transparency concept, which it uses in its EverSmart scanners. This technology captures all of the information in the analog transparency (tone, color, shadow detail, sharpness and grain without noise) and transforms it into digital form—a digital transparency. Large data files can be stored, and then the image can be processed for new applications in a pixel depth of 16 bits per color.
