PMA Booth 3291: Cruse
Digital Equipment is debuting the new CS “A” (for Archive) scanners at PMA.
Intended for use by libraries, museums, archives or labs servicing
these customers, the “A” version scanners feature a fixed head height, faster
scanning and ideal resolutions for scanning books, documents and other published
originals.
Available with a black & white head, or color and black
& white head, the Archive scanners will make their US debut in PMA Booth
3291. On display will be a CS 90 A, capable of scanning
originals up to 20”x30” in size. Not
shown, but also available immediately is the CS 110 A, capable of handling
originals as large as 24”x36”. All
“A” model scanners feature a specially adapted version of Cruse’s patented
Synchron lighting system, which provide both even illumination and reduced
light exposure for fragile originals.
“The A model scanners are our first products targeted specifically
at the library, archive or museum market. These end users represent a vast, untapped
business resource for the photo lab, since museums usually outsource archiving
jobs. The business opportunity for
photo labs, coupled with the low cost of the Archive model scanners, is sure
to make these new products an immediate success”, says Kurt Ernst, Managing
Director of Cruse Digital Equipment.
Cruse scanners are rapidly becoming a recognized name in the
museum community. Cruse Digital Equipment is a member of the American Association
of Museums and the Museum Computer Network, and will actively participate
in museum industry events throughout 2001.
Cruse Digital Equipment is the US based arm of Cruse GmbH.
Known for the legendary Cruse Camera, Cruse GmbH has focused research
and development efforts on creating a line of premium-quality large format
scanners. The resulting Cruse scanners
can handle originals as small as a 35mm slide, and as large as 5’x8’.
Cruse scanners are in place at such locations as the Beethoven Museum
