High quality and ease
In today’s printing world, only the best will do. Clients
demand high-quality work at high-speed, and expect you to
get it all done at low cost. So how can you increase
productivity and efficiency without sacrificing quality?
The answer is Dainippon Screen’s DT-S1045AI digital
color scanner. This advanced unit offers high-quality, high-
resolution scanning of originals of up to 12 by 17 inches,
combined with a variety of features which improve
productivity and efficiency.

High-quality
Single pass scanning using photomultipliers, customizable
sharpness, and a top resolution setting of 8,000 dpi assure
the DT-S1045AI’s superior quality even at high-
magnification. Manual and AI setup offer a variety of
options for fine-tuning scans.

Easy operation
An advanced, intuitive GUI offers multi-window capabilities
and ease of use even for the novice, all right from a Macintosh
computer. ColorSync 2.0 support for the Macintosh’s
Color Matching Method helps makes reliable previewing a
reality, so operators can check settings before the actual
scan. Furthermore, Screen’s advanced AI setup channels
make great results a snap even for inexperienced operators.

Productivity
Advanced automation and batch scanning increase
productivity dramatically. The unit’s multiple 64 MHz
DSPs (Digital Signal Processors) allow high-speed
scanning. A special high-speed scan mode increases scan
speed, with no virtually no noticeable reduction in quality.

Flexibility
The DT-S1045AI has a maximum imaging area of 12" by
17", and can scan multiple smaller originals at once.
Negatives, positives, reflection originals, transparencies;
there’s almost nothing this unit can’t handle. Furthermore, a
variety of output formats, including Scitex CT, are supported.
