ABDick Scanmaster

The ScanMaster works with ABDick and Presstek platesetters that feature the Momentum RIP. It allows you to import and manipulate images, text, line art and tints from hard copy documents directly into your digital workflow. You can then integrate and manipulate the elements to create a digital document – all through an intuitive graphic interface. There’s no need to switch between text, scanning and layout programs – it’s all done with the integrated, easy-to-use ScanMaster system.
