Standard 2,500-dpi optical resolution is produced for reflective scanning upto 4 by 14 inches, and for transmissive scanning up to 4 by 12 inches. Higherresolutions (2,500 x 1,250 dpi) are produced for reflective scanning up to 8by 14-inches, and for transmissive in an 8-by-12-inch area. A 4-by-5-inchimage is scanned at 1,000 dpi in 23 seconds in preview mode, 50 second forstandard. An A4 color print is produced at 1,000 dpi in 120 seconds.

Combining the TwinPlate design with the dual-lens system provides separate,built-in reflective and film-scanning surfaces. These can be loadedindependently and scanned consecutively. Dual lenses support the full bedwidth to be scanned at medium resolution (1,250 dpi optical) or half of thewidth at high resolution (2,500 dpi optical). In high resolution mode, youcan enlarge a 35mm slide up to more than A3 format (11 by 17 inches).

The removable batch film holders are practical for high-volume batchscanning, by allowing you to quickly load slide or negative films intomultiple holders while scanning continues. Along with an SCSI-2 interface,the T2500 has a software package that includes Agfa FotoLook for Mac or PC,and Agfa ColorTune. The Agfa DuoScan T2500 scanner is supported by a one-year warranty.

Product Description

The winning combination DuoScan T2500 is a revolutionary A4 flatbed scanner, designed for professional, graphic arts applications. At a fraction of the cost of a high-end drum scanner, it produces superb-quality slide, negative and reflective scans at up to 2500 ppi true optical resolution.For maximum versatility and performance, Agfa has combined the highly successful TwinPlate concept of the original DuoScan together with the dual lens system of DuoScan T2000 XL A3 scanner. The TwinPlate consists of separate, built-in reflective and film scanning surfaces. These can be loaded independently of each other for maximum productivity. The DuoScan T2500 is four scanners in one! It has built-in transparency and reflective scanning beds, which can be scanned consecutively. Dual lenses allow either the full bed width to be scanned at medium resolution (1250 ppi optical) or half of the width at high resolution (2500 ppi optical). Switching between these four modes is automatic: you simply choose options in the menus and the T2500 responds immediately! In high-resolution mode, you can enlarge a 35 mm slide up to more than A3 format (11" x 17") for printing in high-quality offset! With 36-bit super-sampling and a 3.4D density range, the T2500 captures billions of colors. It pulls every bit of detail out of the darkest shadows. Removable batch film holders make high-volume batch scanning a practical reality. Load slide or negative films into multiple holders while your scanning continues. The glassless holders eliminate Newton rings and light loss due to refraction.

Mediocre at everything.......2006-07-19

It scans slides, negs, and reflective art, and none of them very well. My HP Photosmart slide scanner did a better job, and cost about $3,000 less. It's large, clunky, and irritating to use.

It is supposed to be a high-resolution (2500 dpi) scanner, but only half of the scanning area is high-res. Which means if you're scanning reflective art larger than 4x6, you are limited to 1200 dpi. Pretty lame.

If you can pick one up for $100, it might be worth it if you've got s SCSI card and a lot of desk space.

We bought this thing brand-new, and I was never happy with it. Then we started shooting with digital cameras, and it's been sitting in a closet ever since. These days, we don't even have a computer with a SCSI card to hook it up to.

It's old technology now, but it wasn't great, even when it was cutting-edge.
