Enjoy the flexibility, ease and safety of overhead scanning with the HD Apeiron/42. Able to capture items up to 60” x 42” (1524 x 1067 mm) in size, it brings the ability to digitise fragile and delicate items such as artwork that would otherwise be hard to digitise.

Just position on the large scanning table and let the HD Apeiron/42 effortlessly digitise. No fuss, no drama – just exceptional results in minutes.

The HD Apeiron/42 is engineered to simplify the scanning of thicker items, including framed artwork. With a generous clearance height of 10 inches (254 mm) and an optimal focus plane extending up to 5.1 inches (130 mm), it accommodates bulkier objects with ease.

The motorized scanning module allows for effortless adjustments, ensuring precise and convenient operation.

Contex uses All-Digital cameras with advanced point-of-origin capture and onboard digital conversion ensuring minimum noise and an extended dynamic range. Developed with Toshiba and with Fujifilm lenses, they also feature unique four-linear CCD technology and up to 1200 dpi optical resolution.

The result? Only the very best image quality to meet the highest industry standard and the most important judge of all, you.

The HD Apeiron/42 features cutting-edge LED technology utilizing the latest TRI-RTM advancements. Elliptical reflectors on either side ensure uniform illumination, effectively replicating the natural light spectrum without interference from ambient light.

Delivering museum correct lighting free from UV/IR radiation, it produces perfectly lit images with accurate and consistent colours that faithfully match the original media.

Maximum 3D effect for maximum texture and surface emphasis

Subtly emphasized details

With both lamps in the up position, the lighting effect will produce minimal shadows.

With both lamps in the down position, the lighting effect will produce maximum shadows.

With the left lamp up and the right lamp down, the lighting effect will produce subtle downward shadows.

This test painting demonstrates how effectively various parts of an uneven surface are captured when scanning with 3D effects enabled

Even the smallest raised or indented stroke in this drawing is meticulously preserved for the future with scanning by the HD Apeiron/42. See how scanning with multiple exposures has captured all the lifelike details.

This test painting features thick layers of acrylic paint on a coarse canvas. The black acrylic paint is blended with a glossy medium, intensifying its natural sheen and luminosity but also increasing susceptibility to reflections. Observe how the HD Apeiron/42 seamlessly handles both the black paint and reflections.

When printed on a very fine canvas, this ‘Cups’ artwork exhibits a smooth, nearly flat surface without a 3D effect. Introducing a 3D effect enhances the painting by emphasising the strokes of paint along the cup’s edge and infusing vitality into the solid yellow background.

Scanning seemingly black-and-white originals in colour can significantly enhance the resulting image, adding vibrancy and subtle variations that may not be visible in a standard black-and-white scan.

This technique captures the nuances of the original material, making the image appear more dynamic and engaging. Additionally, opting for a slight 3D effect can further enrich the visual experience by creating a sensation of depth.

While the numerous pen strokes create a 3D-like effect on the strands of hair in this drawing, the 3D effect in HD Apeiron/42 also enhances the depth of the paper itself.

Scanner settings are 600 dpi with both lamps down and the 3D effect set at +60.

HD Apeiron/42 offers four different lighting angle options, ensuring optimal scanning conditions for shiny or partially shiny originals.

This flexibility allows you to adjust the lamp position to eliminate glare and capture all the details, regardless of the reflective nature of the material. With these versatile lighting settings, you can achieve a high-quality scan every time.

Observe how varying the scanner’s lamp positions alters the appearance of the metallic strokes of the dish, even without using the 3D effect option.
