From the Dresden factory in Germany that made countless Exacta and Practika cameras comes the newest addition to our Giclée System – The Scan 6000.
Featuring a 10,000 by 10,000 by full three primary colour scanner (that's 300mp in total) this machine produces the ultimate images for fine art or still life reproduction.
The Scan 6000 is a high technology hand-assembled instrument with Schneider M39 lens mount. GMS now supplies a selection of matched Schneider APO Componon lenses and extension tubes for the machine along with the industry standard SilverFast AI Studio software to create an image capture system that’s unique in Australia.
Be the first in your area to have the Pentacon 6000.
Lets face it, everybody has a wide format printing machine and there is very little business value in buying a new model as most of the claimed improvements exist in brochures and not in real life. Customers just don't perceive the difference between printer models and in these tough times it's hard to justify additional commitments.
Being the first in your area to have the Pentacon 6000 could easily change your business overnight. The machine is of modern design and far easier to use than previous scan backs that were just "Lipstick on a Pig" being made as film substitutes on older bellows driven technical cameras. These machines offer reasonable reproduction but suffer high failure rates with art as they have shallow depth of focus and almost certain short term obsolescence even though the cost is often over 50%- 100% higher than the Pentagon scan series.
Superior performance to conventional digital equipment.
Similarly art and still life images copied with conventional digital equipment do not provide anywhere near the price performance of hand made scan cameras. Even 60mpixel medium format machines that cost more than 4 times the price of the Scan 6000, result in much smaller enlargements as their sensors only resolve one primary colour per pixel and the resulting full colour image is interpolated.
The Pentacon 6000 is built from the ground up around the smaller and better corrected image circle of the Schneider Kreuznach APO Componons and a solid body that can't flex and make out of focus images. Connected via a single industry standard USB cable the machine can scan in a mere 30 seconds and allows repeated scans of a single image to give higher dynamic range that is needed to capture highlights in oil painting or in smaller reflective items like jewellery.
Tax deductible with a 2-year warranty.
Finally in these tough times GMS is offering the complete Pentacon 6000s and your selection of Schneider lenses and solid extension tubes for full operating lease (subject to approval). That means the complete item is off the balance sheet and tax deductible over a five year period. GMS is offering a two year warranty on the camera, lens system and software along with an additional 8 years parts availability. GMS also offers next day change over service and same day call back for technical advice including lighting advice and software service.
Are you finding it a bit of a struggle at the moment? Are your customers taking their work to your competitors who have reproduction abilities? If so, now is the time to consider how the Pentacon 6000 system combined with an Australian operating lease could improve your business.
