Image Access Announces Company's / Largest Product Launch at CeBIT 2008

Wuppertal (ots) - In the largest product launch in the history of
the company, Image Access will present a full range of wide format
scanners at CeBIT 2008. The wide format scanner WideTEK 36 was
already a highlight at CeBIT last year. Named "the fastest wide
format scanner in the world" by Bertl (an independent American test
laboratory), the WideTEK 36's highly rated design and functionality
made it a perfect prototype for the development of two new sheet feed
wide format scanners, the WideTEK 42 and WideTEK 48. Rounding out
the product family, the WideTEK 25 is the latest addition to the
company's palette of flatbed scanners, scanning document widths up to
25 inches.

"Responding to the success of our high performance wide format
scanner WideTEK 36, Image Access has extended the product family to
include new scanners for formats between 25 and 48 inches", CEO
Thomas Ingendoh summarized. All of the new scanners feature the
latest generation of the technologically advanced, operating system
independent Scan2Net® platform. Introducing a practical new concept
in wide format scanning, Image Access has further enhanced all newly
released scanners with a touch screen on which operators have control
over nearly all functions and parameters of the device. Operators
can enjoy the benefits of true walk-up scanning through the use of
the touch screen and integrated walk-up scanning software. They can
see the scan results on the attached screen without the need for a
client PC. Walk-up scanning enables operators in a department or an
entire company to share the device and scan their image to an FTP
server, any Windows network drive, a network printer, an eMail server
or even a USB stick.

The WideTEK family is outfitted with the most modern camera
technology utilizing CCD systems and scans in true optical resolution
of 1200x600 dpi.

Equally as impressive as its larger brothers and sisters, the
WideTEK 25 offers double the optical resolution of its predecessor,
the WideTEK A2 and like all members of the WideTEK family, it was
designed to encapsulate all optical components in a hermetically
sealed camera box, making it not only dust-free but also very low
maintenance. Cleaning the mirrors and the mechanics is no longer
required. Visitors to CeBIT can also see the smallest member of the
family, the WideTEK A3 flatbed scanner.

Image Access software tools have been developed or reengineered to
provide operators with professional production scanning solutions for
nearly every requirement. Batch Scan Wizard was extended to
incorporate new functionality including selectable cut-outs of images
to be scanned, variable configuration of bookfold correction or
setting hot keys to start commonly used functions. With Scan2Edit,
users scan directly into their favorite graphics application for
post-processing, without having to store the image first and reopen
it in the application. Scan2Edit also enables users to virtually
modify the image by changing scan parameters - without having to
rescan the image. The online tool, Scan2ICC, enables users to
configure and store an individual ICC profile, tuned especially for
the user's Scan2Net® scanner.

Innovative new products are not the only thing new from Image
Access at CeBIT 2008. This year, Image Access will present their
solutions in a completely new location at CeBIT, in the DMS Hall 3,
booth C30. Partners at the Image Access booth, Alos GmbH and
ImageWare Components GmbH; will present their know-how in scanning,
copying and post-processing of large format originals, valuable books
as well as modern document management systems.
