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.
If you need to scan or copy Blueprint documents the Colortrac challenge will help you find the right scanner technology based on your own unique preferences.
A series of typical wide format document types will be displayed in sequence with two images shown side-by-side. One image scanned by SingleSensor and one by CCD.
Choose the image you prefer by clicking on the “Select” button underneath. If you cannot see a difference, you should select “No preference” in the middle bottom of the screen to continue.
