The high-performance RENAISSANCE copydot scanning system enables printers to scan color-separated halftone film and generate digital files for integration into a complete end-to-end digital workflow.

The GATF award-winning RENAISSANCE copydot scanning system provides high-quality scans, fast throughput, and is easy to use. Advanced scanning technology enables the RENAISSANCE system to produce an exact replica of the original film by copying it dot-for-dot, without introducing moiré or artifacts. Printers can be confident that digital data is an accurate reproduction of the original film or copy. The RENAISSANCE solution is designed to run all tasks as parallel processes and can output a new set of files every five minutes.

The RENAISSANCE system eliminates manual stripping, reduces file preparation time and enables quicker access to stored files. It features timesaving tools such as job templates for frequently used jobs, fully automatic registration of digital separations, and bitmap editing tools for quick and easy clean up of any defects in the original film images. What used to take a film stripper 15 minutes at the light table can now be done in less than 15 seconds.

SPECIFICATIONS

The Renaissance scanning system is a high-performance copydot scanner that converts halftone film separations into their digital equivalent. This facilitates the integration of supplied film, archived film and reflective copy into a fully digital workflow.

A standard Renaissance system consists of three major hardware components:

	Scanning engine and processor
	Console Workstation for setting up and controlling scans
	Integrity Registration and Verification Workstation for registering, verifying and editing scanned files

The system can also include several software options including Integrity Bitmap Editing and varying levels of automatic digital registration.
