The Graphtec SK200 uses the latest Contact Image Sensor technology with 42-bits of internal color capturing (14-bit grayscale) parsing the best 24-bit color (8-bit grayscale) to the Rocket controller for further processing. The scan line consists of five CIS sensors each approximately 8.5-inches wide to reach a 36-inch wide scanning capability at up to 600-dpi resolution. You place scanning materials upwards when feeding the scanner. It's actually very nice that you can see the drawing while feeding it into the scanner. The scanning top speed is 6ips in black and white at 200 dpi and 2ips in color also at 200 dpi.

Canon iFP700 Printer & Calibration

The Canon iFP700 printer is a 36-inch wide, five-color inkjet printer. The printer utilizes one, one-inch print head. There are six chips in the print head, but only one print head in the device. Ink wells have a maximum capacity of 130ml each. Installation is straight forward as most other printers are. You connect the Canon iFP700 printer directly to the Rocket controller through a USB cable or to the Ethernet.

ImageFLOW

The ImageFLOW software is a new all-in-one package that can scan, preview, print and copy images. It's included with the Supra solutions at no additional charge. This software enhances the experience for the operator. All buttons are logical placed with a left side view/preview and the right-hand side shows controls. In the lower right corner you find the three main functions: scanning, printing, and copying.

ImageFLOW supports and comes with touch screens and the regular keyboard and mouse interface, making input easy.

ImageFLOW is not just another scan, print and copy application. Its base technology is coming from the reprographics world and is based on PhotoPrint 5 from SA international. ImageFLOW supports more than 550 printers, making it easy to fit into your workflow. In addition, print jobs from other users and software can be integrated into ImageFLOW and are organized into a print rip & queue system so you can create sets and manipulate the queue giving you a comprehensive company-wide queue and print system.

Printing in ImageFlow

To print files previously scanned or already on the system, users can just use the Print button. In the Print dialog box you can add files using the standard browser, select the printing device with a preset printer paper profile, set the scaling and the number of copies to make.

You can also hold print jobs in the queue for later release and build complex sets of prints. Just select the Sets button to create, rearrange and manage sets.
