Contex is thrilled to announce participation in the upcoming West Coast Art & Framing Expo. Contex offers a limited opportunity for visitors to bring their own original to scan at the expo.
Chantilly, VA - Attendees of the largest gathering for art and framing professionals will have the unique opportunity to experience Contex’ innovative art scanner, HD Apeiron/42, in action - a contact-free solution that allows for safe and precise digitization of framed artwork and original pieces.
Contex is participating together with their trusted distributor through many years, National Azon. Meet experts from both companies at the show. Contex experts are Dan Bennett, Technical Director of Global Support, and Jerry Gautereaux, Sales Manager for Americas.
Live scanning demonstration
Framers, reprographic experts, art curators, artists and anyone interested are invited to bring their own originals to the Contex booth for scanning demonstrations, highlighting the scanner’s ability to preserve delicate, framed or other hard-to-digitize originals. By scanning without direct contact, Contex’ technology ensures that framed pieces, canvases, and fragile originals remain untouched, avoiding the risk of damage or wear.
“Our contact-free art scanning technology is designed to revolutionize how artwork is digitized,” says Jerry Gautereaux, Sales Manager at Contex Americas. “We’re excited to demonstrate the ease, precision, and safety of our solution to the art and framing community at the West Coast Art & Framing Expo. It’s a chance for attendees to see firsthand how we’re redefining industry standards.”
The Contex art scanner is the ideal tool for reprographic shops, framing experts, galleries and museums looking to digitize artwork for archiving, reproduction, or sharing. The scanner offers unmatched color accuracy with a FADGI 4-star compliance. Outputs are high-resolution up to 1200 dpi, and the cameras capture every detail in any original, from the texture left by brush strokes to the finest gradients of color.
Framed artwork digitized in 5 minutes
American Reprographics invested in the new Contex contact-free art scanner, HD Apeiron/42 which has saved them a lot of time with editing the digitized files. Digitization of a framed artwork has gone from taking two hours to five minutes.
However, it has not just saved them time but also improved their results:
“The prints that I can create from those scans are what people get blown away by. That’s what brings people back being like “Wow, I didn’t know you could do this.”,” says Colin Treado, President and owner of American Reprographics, and continues:
“The speed of it is great, the ease of it is great, no warm-up time is great. It’s solving problems without creating problems.”
Limited opportunity: Bring your own originals
Curious to see how HD Apeiron/42 can scan a framed piece of art in minutes? Contex encourages visitors to bring their own framed artwork, canvases, or other originals to the Contex booth #1012 to see how easily and safely their pieces can be scanned.
Everyone is welcome to the live scanning and can receive digital examples after the show. Contex and National Azon also bring originals for showcasing.
