Features and Benefits:

Exclusive built-in DIGITAL ICE Photo Print Technology removes surface defects from photos automatically

Unlike software only applications, DIGITAL ICE Photo Print Technology's integrated hardware and software automatically rebuilds prints without user intervention. DIGITAL ICE is exclusively designed and customized to be integrated into a particular scanner line for optimal print reconstruction results. DIGITAL ICE creates a defect map to identify the precise locations of physical defects or visual "noise" on a print being scanned. Differential shadowing technology and proprietary software algorithms quickly and automatically eliminate the unwanted defects producing an image that closely resembles the undamaged original.

ColorRescue Photo Restoration quickly and easily revives faded photos and film

Microtek's new PictuRescue system incorporates DIGITAL ICE and ColoRescue, delivering the first-ever combined photo reconstruction and restoration solution. With the ScanMaker i900, graphic designers, professional photographers and print publishers can reconstruct photos with cracks, tears, creases and scratches often at least ten times faster than manual photo reconstruction techniques, depending on the extent of damage. Another Microtek-differentiated technology is ColoRescue, an automatic color recovery and control feature for faded, dull prints and film. These technologies combine to offer a powerful, automatic photo reconstruction and restoration solution for faster turnaround and improved workflow efficiency.

Superior scans with 6400 x 3200 dpi resolution and 4.2 maximum optical density

The ScanMaker i900 delivers impressive image quality, versatility and productivity features with its 6400 x 3200 dpi optical resolution, 48-bit color depth, 4.2 maximum optical density

Microtek patented E.D.I.T.™ and glassless SnapTrans™ holders attached

The ScanMaker i900 provides Dual-Media scanning with an upper bed for reflective scanning of photos up to 8.5" x 14"; and a lower bed for film transparency scanning up to 8" x 10". The ScanMaker i900 also features Microtek's proprietary Emulsion Direct Imaging Technology (E.D.I.T.) for glassless scanning of a variety of film sizes. Included is a set of SnapTrans™ holders for easy batch scanning of 35mm mounted slides, filmstrips, medium-format and 4" x 5" film.

Ultra-fast scanning with FireWire and Hi-Speed USB connectivity

Microtek's special electronic design provides both FireWire and Hi-Speed USB (USB 2.0) connections. By simply connecting the FireWire cable to your computer, you get 400Mbps data transmission for fast, high-resolution image transfer. New Hi-Speed USB is capable of 480Mbps data transfer, with true plug-and-play capability. All USB 2.0 devices are backward compatible with older USB 1.1 ports.

Network scanning support (for Windows) for sharing scanner among clients and servers on a network

Lets you access the scanner over a local area network (LAN). Allows multiple users to use the same scanner. Increases versatility and ease of use for network image sharing.
