 Lizza Fine Art & Computer Graphics is the only studio in the United States to own a Cruse CS285 ST scanner. The Cruse CS285 ST is the most technologically advanced, large format, high resolution scanner in the world. It accommodates originals up to 60" by 90" and produces images up to 10,048 x 15,500 pixels and a file size of more than 800 megabytes. The Cruse achieves a level of clarity and depth of detail never seen before in a digitized print.
The Cruse scanner offers significant advantages over current, digital scanners:
1. Focus - Unlike digital camera backs where the focus can only be set visually through the camera's ground glass, the Cruse scanner uses a complex software algorithm to focus. This eliminates human error and maximizes sharpness on all scans.
2. Lighting - Cruse scanners use the Synchron(tm) lighting system. The Synchron lighting system uses a patented moving lamp design which provides even illumination and reduces overall light exposure on originals. It provides even illumination across the entire surface of the original and eliminates the need for retouching.
3. Lens Resolution - Pixels on most digital camera backs are 8 microns apart but most standard lenses can't resolve images that small. The lenses used in Cruse scanners are ultra high resolution and are modified to meet technical requirements.
4. Squareness to Camera - Traditionally, images are captured using a tripod setup which makes it impossible to square a wall-mounted image. The scanning head on the Cruse scanner is perfectly square with the Cruse holders.
Because owner Bob Lizza will be using a Cruse CS285 ST, he will no longer have to square the original by hand. He also won't have to manually focus using a loop. Set up time will be reduced by more than 60 minutes. By purchasing the Cruse CS285 ST, Lizza Fine Art & Computer Graphics will be in a class by itself. At this time, no other company in the United States owns the Cruse CS285 ST.
