Canon 8132A004AB
Review & Specification:
Offering two new significant technology firsts, the 9900F is ideally suited to today's graphic arts professional!
The CanoScan 9900F is a CCD desktop scanner with the highest performance to date. It has everything you need to make the highest-quality scans available - of documents, images or film - while increasing your productivity every step of the way. Whether you're scanning reflective originals or film negatives, with 3200 x 6400 dpi optical resolution and 48-bit color depth the CanoScan 9900F captures stunning quality images - this scanner will extract unparalleled color gradation; shadow and highlight detail from your original. With this kind of resolution, you can enlarge your images further than ever before.
A long-standing challenge to the industry has been to create a large, light-efficient Film Adapter Unit. Canon has made the breakthrough by combining curved and flat reflective plates to increase the light-condensing rate. Combined with other design improvements the FAU is extremely large without compromising brightness - it allows up to 24 individual 35 mm frames to be scanned in a single operation. It will also manage your 120 roll and 4" x 5" plates with ease.
The CanoScan 9900F uses Film Automatic Retouching and Enhancement technology, employing a number of clean-up steps to your film scan before you even start working on it. Traditionally this would require hours of manual retouching in photo-editing software. Infrared light combines with an advanced software process to remove dust and scratches on the surface of your original. Two new advancements add to dust and scratch removal: Reconstruction of Color, and Grain Equalization and Management. Reconstruction of Color restores hues and tints, even if the colors have faded on your original. Finally, Grain Equalization and Management takes out any grain that is very visible on high resolution scans of high-ASA film.
The CanoScan 9900F incorporates the Super Galileo 2 lens - actually a telephoto lens array - consisting of a group of convex lenses on the document side and concave lenses on the charge-coupled device (CCD) side. Although just a fraction of the size, its precision is similar to 600 mm telephoto lenses used by professional photographers. Canon's experience in lens design and optics contributes greatly to the image quality of the 9900F.
The CanoScan 9900F employs USB 2.0 Hi-Speed and IEEE1394 (FireWire) connection for high-speed data transfer - designed to save you time. Plus, it's compatible with all of the Mac OS and Windows formats commonly in use.
