Contex HD Ultra X 3650
Overview
The Contex HD Ultra X 3650 is a precision 36-inch CCD wide-format scanner, tailored for professionals who require a reliable balance of speed, image fidelity, and versatility. It’s ideal for capturing maps, architectural drawings, technical plans, posters, and archival materials where consistent quality and smooth workflows are essential.
Key Features & Benefits
-
High-Quality Imaging
Utilizes true CCD sensors in 48-bit RAW mode to capture rich color gradations and subtle detail, delivering scans that reliably mirror the original in clarity and depth. -
Optimized Speed Profile
In its default configuration, it offers strong performance for color scans (at 200 dpi) and maximum throughput in monochrome or grayscale workflows. In color mode it typically delivers around 8.9 inches per second, while monochrome speeds can reach higher throughput. -
Wide Format Flexibility
Supports scanning up to 36 inches in width, accommodating most oversize originals while fitting into medium-format production environments. -
Robust Media Handling
Can handle originals up to about 0.6 inches (15 mm) thick — including mounted boards, rigid artwork, or foam core — thanks to adjustable thickness control and smart media feed design.
Uses a combination of automatic thickness adjustment and contour correction to maintain document integrity during scanning. -
Smart Automation & Workflow Features
-
Instant-ON operation enables immediate scanning without warm-up delays
-
True Size Detection senses paper width and adjusts settings on the fly
-
Optimized Thickness Adjustment Control (OTAC) allows fast, one-lever adjustment for varying media
-
SnapSize and automated crop/deskew reduce manual intervention
-
Supports networked access via SmartShare, letting multiple users share the scanner in workflow environments
-
-
Low-Maintenance & Durable Design
LED illumination (no lamps to replace), scratch-resistant glass, and a low friction transport system contribute to reduced running costs and extended life span.
Use Cases & Ideal Users
-
Architectural, engineering, and construction firms digitizing large drawing sets
-
Reprographic services and copy shops handling moderate to high volumes
-
GIS / mapping agencies scanning large maps or spatial data
-
Museums, archives, and libraries preserving oversize original documents
-
Print and graphics studios needing consistent, color-accurate large format scans
