This feature, MultiPlate technology, allows users to select the scanning process that works best with the original type and quality requirements. With its 1200 x 2400 ppi optical resolution and 14-bit colour depth this flexible scanner is ready for various jobs in the graphic environment. Need a quick scan for a Website? Just place the original on the glass plate and scan. Or maybe you need a quality reproduction from a slide or transparancy? Then, opt for the slide holders. Whichever way works best for you, the Arcus 1200 is ready for the job!

MultiPlate technology

Agfa designed the Arcus 1200 as an all-purpose graphic arts scanner, using the MultiPlate technology concept. Think of MultiPlate technology as a "light" version of TwinPlate technology, found in the Agfa DuoScan range of scanners. Like TwinPlate technology, MultiPlate offers glass-less scanning. For a quick reflective or transparent scan or odd-sized original, just use the glass plate. For quality transparency work, just click the glass plate Out of the Arcus 1200's sliding tray and simply replace it with one of the two standard included slide holders for glass-less scanning. With the MultiPlate technology concept, the glass plate is eliminated, substantially diminishing optical distortion. Thanks to the sliding tray's locked position, the slide holder pertectly positions the original. And the cover is both adjustable and removable, making it easier to scan bulky objects, like books. With all these options, MultiPlate technology definitely combines the best of both worlds - a traditional glass plate scanning bed and a slide holder for glass-less transparency scanning.
