As the demand for wide format input and output grows, so does Alpha’s commitment to providing state-of-the-art tools. We help our clients handle color maps, posters and display panels, right up to full-color photographic originals, black-and-white and grayscale materials, monochrome CAD and other line work. Scanning materials, whether flexible or mounted on rigid boards can easily be handled by Alpha’s trained staff.

Thin and thick document scanning...up to 50 inches wide

Here at Alpha we know that our clients needs are not always limited to convenient paper-thin media. In the reprographics industry there is a growing need to digitize or copy images printed or pasted on thicker media such as cardboard, foamboard, gatorboard, etc. To support these needs, Alpha has chosen the Océ CS4050 scanner allowing us to easily change the insertion slot space on the scanner from 0 to 0.6" (0 to 15 mm) to fit the thickness of the original, thus adding an extra dimension to scanning possibilities for our clients.

Advanced color scanning for consistent results

Maximizing the quality of your scanning results, the Océ CS4050 scanner gives us 36-bit color data capture. Then transfers the most useful 24 bits of color data to the host system allowing reproduction of up to 16 million colors. The software also removes background "noise" and improves definition. Resolution is up to 800 dpi enhanced (400 dpi optical), and can be varied continuously from 50 dpi upwards to optimize performance on specific scanning jobs. The high color depth also reproduces monochrome work consistently, with the capability to render a full grayscale range.

Six scanning modes to process all types of applications in both B&W and Color

Most color scanners enable RGB (24 bit) and B&W scanning modes. However, additional scanning modes are needed to process all types of originals whether they are B&W or color, complex or simple color documents, or new or old documents. The Océ CS4050 offers 6 scan modes to enable us to select the desired mode depending on your original type.

Color Calibration, Color Linearization & ICC Profiles

For critical color reproduction, the Océ CS4050 offers an automated color calibration tool to give us consistent and predictable scanning results every time.

Optimize the performance of your technical drawings, bring your scan images to the next level with the Color Feature Extraction

To maximize the accuracy of color reproduction and keep color scan file sizes under control, the Océ CS4000 scanner series has a unique color object extraction function that reduces all colors to a restricted set of colors defined in a color look-up table. All scanned input is then referred to the specified standard colors only. This solution is ideal for originals using a limited and specific range of colors, such as technical drawings, maps or corporate identity materials.

Expand Your Application Format Library more than 50 different file formats

Alpha's color scanning module supports more than 50 different file formats. These formats can be organized into different groups, which ensure cooperation with most graphics, publications, CAD and GIS applications
