Reinforcing Forefront Technologies position as a leading supplier of quality Document Imaging products; Forefront is proud to introduce State of the Art Scanning Technologies for GIS/CAD, Graphics, Reprographics and more... after signing a distribution agreement with Graphtec Corporation.

Graphtec Corporation Headquarters: 503-10 Shinano-cho, Totsuka-ku Yokohama 244-8503, Japan)
A leading manufacturer of wide-format scanners with the new CS600, CS500, and IS200 Series 42" of wide-format scanners for scanning, archiving, copying, and production of large-format artwork and other documents.

Two models available in each series, the CS600 and CS500 Series are 24-bit full-color scanners ideal for processing photographs, complex maps, and AEC/ CAD drawings, while the IS200 offers an 8-bit monochrome (Up-Gradable to Color) alternative for those who do not presently require the color functions. Each series offers a standard (800 DPI Resolution) or advanced Pro model (4800 DPI Resolution)

3 Models to suit all requirements. Upgraded Features include...
• Document sizes from ANSI E to ISO A4
• Maximum scanning medium width 1092 mm (43 inches)
• Full 42” (1066mm) wide media width
• 40% improvement in reading times
• Up to 4800 dpi resolution (interpolated)
• Maximum Media thickness of 20mm
• Interface options: USB 2.0 with IEEE 1394 FireWire OR USB 2.0 with 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX LAN
• High-speed scan of 8 seconds for ISO A0 Media at 400 dpi.

New media feed mechanism that can "Iron out" wrinkles on paper and ensure reliable paper feeding CS 600/500 and IS200 adopt a new paper pressure feeding mechanism, which helps smooth out even the badly wrinkled paper and ensure optimal image reproduction. Thick medium can be securely held to guarantee correct feeding, resulting in accurate scanning.

Equipped with sliding paper guides with a right-left balancing function All series now have as standard the sliding paper guides with a right-left balancing function, a very useful mechanism when loading medium, and has proved very popular among many users.

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 pat- terns, but also satisfy the needs of the graphic arts and printing industries.

Scans thick medium up to 20.3 mm (0.8 inch)
The CS600 Series supports the ITA (Intelligent Thickness Adjustment) feature, allowing for scanning of thick medium up to 20.3 mm (0.8 inch).

All Graphtec scanners are registered under the International Energy Star Program and also are compliant with Japan's Law on Promoting Green Purchasing. They support power save mode, where the product goes into wait mode when it is not used for a certain period of time, reducing power consumption. In addition, they require no warm-up time before use, minimizing consumed power and at the same time maximizing productivity.

Graphtec proudly acknowledges its standing as a world leader in technology. Through four subsidiaries and a global network of distributors, All this has been built on Graphtec's many competitive strengths–product features, performance, compatibility, and price. It's hard to find a value that's even comparable.
