Paradigm Imaging Group has announced the release of a new wide format Flatbed Scanner by Kurabo.

The new 24x36-inch (ARCH D Size) flatbed scanner, manufactured by Kurabo, is a perfect solution for scanning museum art, textiles and delicate documents. An ARCH-D size color document can be scanned in 20 seconds or less in 400 dpi/high-speed mode. Resolution is adjustable by 1 dpi increments within the range from 50 dpi to 800 dpi.

Kurabo developed the flatbed scanner 20 years ago for the Japanese market. Their extensive installed base includes government entities and museums, which use the scanner in the preservation and recording of historical documents and priceless artwork. The Kurabo scanner is the lowest cost flatbed of its kind ever introduced into the U.S. market.

Operating software is included with the Kurabo scanner, enabling the user the preview scanned images and perform basic editing functions. With the optional Aupier-Gigastitch software you can stitch and join multiple sections of scanned images, overlaying CAD & Raster files. A variety of editing tools are available and the high performance data management system allows operators to display, scroll, enlarge, reduce, layout, stitch, and save high capacity image data (over 1GB) easily and quickly.

"The Kurabo flatbed scanner is a good fit for our product line, enabling us to bring a more affordable solution to a niche segment of the scanning market that currently has few viable options," says Randy Geesman, President of Paradigm Imaging Group.
