FAQs
Can the Microtek LS-4600 scan originals that are too large for an A2 scanner?
Yes. The Microtek LS-4600 is designed for larger-format work, making it suitable for items such as maps, posters, plans, blueprints, artwork and archive materials that would not fit on a standard A3/A2 flatbed.
Is it suitable for fragile or valuable originals?
Yes. The Microtek LS-4600’s flatbed design allows delicate items to be placed carefully on the scan bed rather than pulled through a feeder. This makes it a strong option for archives, museums and collections handling fragile documents or artwork.
Can it scan textured or uneven materials?
Yes. The 10 mm depth of field helps the Microtek LS-4600 capture raised, textured or slightly uneven originals more clearly, including textiles, thicker materials and some dimensional surfaces. Ideal for artwork, for example.
Does the Microtek LS-4600 avoid stitching problems with large scans?
Yes. Microtek uses a single CCD sensor design on the LS-4600. This helps avoid the alignment issues that can occur when multiple scans or camera images need to be stitched together.
What types of teams is the Microtek LS-4600 designed for?
The Microtek LS-4600 is best suited to archives, museums, studios, reprographics teams, technical departments and organisations that need high-quality large-format scanning for preservation, reference, reproduction or documentation.
