Nextimage Features

Scanning is easier than ever

Why just scan? You can Copy, Print, Email, Edit, and Scan with Nextimage multi-function wide format software. It brings all your imaging tasks into one user-friendly interface, creating the perfect link between your scanner, digital storage, existing applications, and your printers. Intuitive and powerful, Nextimage makes your workflow more productive and more connected than ever before. Let it improve your image today.

Make your workflow more productive

Copy to your printers, Scan directly into your software, Scan to your email, Scan to other network PCs, even share your scanner with other network users. More scanning, less clicking. Nearly every feature or function of Nextimage software has been designed to make the scanner and user more productive – Less searching for the right settings, less adjustment to get the right quality, and less waiting to view results.

More than just scanning

Designed to optimize results for every use Nextimage brings out unseen details and restores even the faintest originals.

Utilizing the full 64 bit Operating System, Nextimage is able to capture the longest originals in the industry. No original is too big for the software.

ICC Color Management.

Nextimage supports ICC/ICM profiles. It can embed ICC profiles in scanned files, whether it is JPG, JPEG 2000 or TIFF, preserving colors when files are loaded into other applications.

Intelligent
Sharpen/Smoothing Filters

Nextimage is loaded with new image processing options. One of these is the smart new Smoothen filter that intelligently removes pattern noise without bluring the edges in the original. Combine it with the sharpen algorithm to get razor sharp results with smooth noiseless colors.

Closed Loop Calibration (CLC)

Nextimage also comes with built-in closed loop calibration for managing colors when making copies. The CLC wizard helps you create a media profile that is optimized for the individual media in the printer. Simply print a reference pattern on your printer, and then scan it to create the perfect relationship between your scanner and printer.

New Adaptive Thresholding Algorithm

Nextimage also comes with a newly developed B&W algorithm that combines background cleaning and preservation of grayscales in one mode. Use it for both clean new originals and for low contrast blueprints.
