Contex’s New XD2490 Large Format Scanner Redefines AEC Market

November 7, 2009

I’m absolutely blown away by Contex’s new XD2490 Scanner.  This large format scanner absolutely redefines the AEC scanner market.  It’s efficient.  It’s fast.  And, it’s priced to sell!  

The XD2490 is the first professional wide-format scanner with a suggested retail price under $4,000 USD, excluding freight and local taxes.   Yes, I said under $4,000!  That’s a price that’s unheard of in the industry.  Now architects, engineers and construction personnel have an affordable way to scan and communicate drawing changes directly from the field.  This can improve efficiency and reduce costly delays and mistakes.   With the Contex XD2490, users can mark-up drawings, then Scan-to-Email to communicate the drawing change with other team members.  Or, users can copy drawings for distribution to team members in the field or archive to a file server.  

This 24-inch sheet-feed scanner is rugged enough for the construction site, and small enough to transport between locations.  Contex’s advanced CIS technology ensures scanner stability during transport.   The XD2490 comes standard with Nextimage SCAN, and is upgradeable to Nextimage SCAN+COPY.  The XD2490 provides precise, accurate images with high 1200 dpi optical resolution.   It scans at up to 250 A1/D size drawings per hour in color and up to 539 drawings per hour in monochrome.  It saves file space with intelligent 8-bit index color scanning, as well as accurately capturing full 48-bit color and 16-bit grayscale image data, making it ideal for archiving applications.
