| Q1: |
Is DIGITAL ICE Photo
Print Technology a software application? |
| A1: |
DIGITAL ICE Photo Print
Technology is a combination of hardware and software. A scanner
manufacturer must implement DIGITAL ICE Photo Print Technology at the
time of manufacture. Scanners purchased without DIGITAL ICE Photo Print
Technology cannot be retrofitted to allow DIGITAL ICE Photo Print
Technology functionality. |
| Q2: |
How does DIGITAL ICE
Photo Print Technology work? |
| A2: |
DIGITAL ICE Photo Print
Technology uses differential shadowing technology and proprietary
software algorithms to identify the precise location of physical
defects, or visual ?noise? on a print during the scan. DIGITAL ICE
Photo Print Technology quickly and automatically eliminates the
unwanted defects, producing a scanned image file that improves upon the
original print. For further details go to m/products/ice/FlatICESpecs.shtml |
| Q4: |
What level of defect
correction should I expect? |
| A4: |
DIGITAL ICE Photo Print
Technology has been designed to be a robust automatic defect correction
solution. The overall performance level depends on the mechanical and
optical characteristics of the scanner that DIGITAL ICE Photo Print
Technology is integrated into. The scanner OEM and KADC work very
closely to provide the best performance possible. |
| Q5: |
What scanners have it and
when will additional scanners be available with DIGITAL ICE Photo Print
Technology? |
| A5: |
DIGITAL ICE Photo Print
Technology can currently be found in Epson's 4870 and Microtek's 6800,
i300, and i900. We continue to work with these and new scanner
manufacturing partners to increase the availability of DIGITAL ICE
Photo Print Technology. |
| Q6: |
At what resolution will I
obtain the best DIGITAL ICE Photo Print Technology performance? |
| A6: |
This depends on the
characteristics of the scanner integrated with DIGITAL ICE Photo Print
Technology and the desired use of the scanned image. Please refer
to the scanner manufacturer literature for details. |
| Q7: |
Why does scanning with DIGITAL ICE Photo Print Technology enabled take longer than with DIGITAL ICE Photo Print Technology disabled? |
| A7: |
DIGITAL ICE Photo Print Technology requires multiple scans for implementation. |
