This new scanner from Creo is designed specifically for the professional creative market. The ‘iQ’ in the iQsmart scanner family name stands for “image quality,” and the solution delivers true 16-bit color. It’s also a flexible scanning solution, according to Creo, in that it’s capable of scanning a wide range of original materials, including oversized enlargements, books and packages. Based on Creo’s XY Stitch scanning technology, the new device can scan any size original at the highest resolution across the entire scanning bed.
