Ideal.com (Rockville, MD) is offering its Ideal/Contex Magnum XL 54-in. color scanner. The product can scan color images up to 54 in. wide and 0.6 in. thick. It uses TX technology, for enhanced scan speed and image quality, for high-impact monochrome and color scanning, for scan-to-print and scan-to-Web applications.
