Our line of High End Scanner Interfaces for Linotype-Hell (now Heildberg) and Dainippon Screen Scanners allow quick and efficient direct scanning from high-end scanners to the Macintosh. Our innovative interfaces feature direct recording and single pass four color scanning straight to and from the disk or network on your PCI or NuBus equipped MacOS Computer. There are no intermediate steps to slow down the process, just an elegant tightly coupled interface between your computer and scanner.

ColorQuick interfaces fully utilize the control and capability of the scanner color computer to produce the accurate color your scanner is designed to deliver. The full color correction control of the scanner's color computer is available to the operator when scanning to the computer, yielding professional quality pre-press images.

Innovative and unique features improve your productivity and reduce the chance of errors. We feature automatic setup programming of the scanner keypad or data terminal on most models of Hell scanners. With automatic programming, the scanner setup is programmed automatically from the MacOS computer by the interface based on the scan parameters. Our scanner interfaces for Dainippon Screen scanners automatically terminate the scan operation based on the users setup on models with mechanical scan size stops.

All of our interfaces feature single pass scanning so you will never have to do four single color passes to get a four color image. TIFF CMYK, TIFF RGB(CMY), TIFF 8-Bit, TIFF Single Bit, ScitexCT, Scitex PSImage, and DCS image formats are supported. Scanning and recording operate in the background so the MacOS computer is available for other tasks. A real time color preview is displayed on the monitor as the scan progresses.

Our ColorQuick interfaces can also be equipped with the ColorQuickRIP option allowing the scanners record drum to tbe used as an imagesetter for a high quality PostScript compatible output solution.
