The Microtek ArtixScan F2 A4 flatbed scanner offers unparalleled scanning for all media including film. Ideal for scanning photos, archival documents, artwork and more up to A4 in size. The ArtixScan F2 can also capture film up to 8.5” x 10”, easy-to-use film holders are included for 35mm slides and strips plus 4” x 5” sheet film.
Auto Focus
Auto Focus allows the scanner to adjust the focus position on images through the movement of the CCD, resulting in better image quality for a chosen area of the target, which can especially be best seen when used with uneven, creased photos and film.
Patented Technology
Microtek’s patented E.D.I.T. (Emulsion Direct Imaging Technology) allows you to capture images directly from the emulsion surface of film originals without an interfering pane of glass.This results in distortion-free images, diminished light refraction, and the elimination of “Newton Rings” --- those annoying and extremely hard-to remove concentric circles that result from scanning a transparency through a glass plate.
Scan Film Transparencies & Negatives
The ArtixScan F2 is a built-in film scanner with a separate moving light source that allows you to scan film and transparencies up to 8.5” x 10”. Included exclusive SnapTransTM film holders accommodate 35mm slides, 35mm filmstrips, 4” x 5” film, and medium format film up to 6 x 17-cm panoramic. The 4” x 5” and medium format film holders are specially designed with spring actuated tension grips that hold the film perfectly flat, ensuring consistent scan results and yielding sharper image quality.
