CIS vs CCD scanner CIS: Contact Image Sensor Method CCD: Magnification Optical Method All Graphtec scanners currently use the CIS sensor system, ensuring sharp, crisp and clear image reproduction. This technical advantage is further reinforced by a very accurate paper feed and hold technology. Even deep wrinkles on paper can be smoothed to provide optimal image reproduction. Graphtec scanners provide stunning high-resolution images compared to other products in the market. Graphtec scanners (CS600/500) achieve a wider color gamut using the CIS method instead of the older CCD method. CS600/500 can produce high levels of precision and accuracy, as well as a high Optical Resolution of 600dpi. These are truly state-of-the-art scanners that not only meet the needs of industries requiring precise images such as civil engineering drawings, city planning drawings and apparel paper patterns, but also satisfy the needs of the graphic arts and printing industries.

Graphtec's high-performance color scanner driver is provided as a standard accessory. Scanning Master 21+ is easy to use, with interactive menu setups and editing functions that can be saved for later use with similar documents. A new "Scan to Print" function enables the CS series scanners to be combined with a large-format printer like the JW1000, to provide a multi-functional color copier solution. Scanning Master 21+ also allows such features as Scan-to-file, Scan-to-print, and Scan-to-Mail. To further enhance user efficiency and maintain compatibility with a variety of applications and subsequent data manipulating processes, a wide range of file formats are supported for archiving your scanned data, including Bitmap, CAD ESP, TIFF, PCX, JPEG, and PDF.
