Glass-Free Transparency Scanning
See The E.D.I.T. Difference
Microtek’s patented E.D.I.T. (Emulsion Direct Imaging Technology) allows images to be captured directly from
the emulsion surface of the film originals without an interfering pane of glass. The result is distortion free
images, diminished light refraction, and elimination of “Newton Rings” - those annoying and extremely hard-
to-remove concentric circles that result from scanning a transparency through a glass plate.
The image below illustrates the difference with and without E.D.I.T. The image scanned with E.D.I.T. is clearly
superior - preserving all the detail, clarity and colour depth of the original transparency.
Without E.D.I.T.
With E.D.I.T.
Newton Rings
An image retoucher’s nightmare, these
can take hours to remove and really cut
into your design schedules.
Fingerprints
These will show up frequently on your
scanner’s glass bed unless it is regularly
cleaned with special glass cleaner.
Dust and fine hair
These have a habit of appearing all too
often - even on freshly blown and
dusted film surfaces.
Scratches
Over time, it’s hard to avoid scratches
building up on glass. If the scratches
are on your film, E.D.I.T. keeps them to
a minimum.
Picture Perfect
E.D.I.T. delivers a much clearer picture. Note the enhanced clarity and overall
colour quality. As the film is scanned directly and not through a glass pane,
annoying Newton rings and distortions are nowhere to be seen.
Microtek has won more awards and has a history of more scanning innovations than anyone else in the desktop scanner industry.
