Diving into a Digital Sea

An innovator in drum scanner technology is ICG, which produces vertical drum scanners with a smaller footprint than traditional drum scanners and uses centrifugal force and media holders to mount media, eliminating the messy oils and tape.

One of the most exciting features from a digital workflow perspective is the CopyDot technology incorporated into Eskofot's line of flatbed CCD scanners. This technology allows screening of color-separated conventional films for integration into electronic page assembly. This means that separated ads, photos or other existing films from conventionally produced jobs can be integrated with digital files to make one comprehensive job file that can be handled digitally for page makeup and output.
