SingleSensor Challenge

Prospective purchasers of wide format scanners have a choice between SingleSensor (CIS) based scanners and the (typically) more expensive CCD image sensor technology

This on-line 'Challenge' is a tool to help you find the right imaging technology for scanning your Large Format documents. The result is based on your selection of comparative image samples.

Take the 2 minute SingleSensor Challenge to see which imaging technology is the best-fit for your originals and application requirements, be they CAD, GIS, graphics, blueprints or photos.
