CRUSE scanners are known to deliver scans of unmatched quality at large formats. We now introduce the new scanner series CS 85 ST-T and CS 135 ST-T that deliver known CRUSE-quality for medium sized formats.

Scanner Type: CS 85 ST-T

Scan-Area: 60 x 60 cm

Scanner Type: CS 135 ST-T

Scan-Area: 60 x 120 cm

Both scanners feature a 15K CMOS line sensor with a high signal-to-noise ratio for superior definition and image quality. Our experience with CMOS-type sensors allowed us to take the performance and quality of the new medium-scale scanners to a new level.

At the same time, sensor, lights, and optics are carefully chosen for peak color fidelity and support the CRUSE Professional ICC color profile

CRUSE scanners come with two specifically designed integrated light sources. Those are driven by high power LEDs providing an optimal illumination for line scanning at high speeds. With this setup, medium-sized formats can be acquired within seconds.

Based on Successful Line Scanning Method

While designed for smaller formats, the medium-sized scanners use the proven and optimized line based acquisition technique of our large format scanners. This technique has several advantages compared to scanning with area sensors, as:

larger formats are possible
very homogenous illumination across the whole scan area
balanced light distribution even for glossy surfaces

In addition, popular lighting options from our large format scanner family are available for the new medium-size scanners such as

Light Angle Device

[ hard, directional light from 4 selectable angles ]

Left + Right

[ soft, diffuse illumination ]

Texture Effects

[ small incident angle, pronounces texture ]

Full access to CRUSE’s Software Toolchain

The new medium-sized scanner line is fully supported by CRUSE Design Studio, our one-stop-shop for scanning, processing, and hand-over. Its integrated workflow management makes repetitive tasks a matter of just a click and allows smooth integration into existing workflows. Workflows can be heavily customized to your specific needs.

Design Studio bundles your scan jobs into projects offering easy and efficient job management. Its network support allows running jobs from multiple stations and operators.

Design Studio’s capability can be extended by adding software modules. Design Studio ships with Image Stacking out of the box, allowing easy overlay and blending of different lighting situations.

3D and Multimodal Scanning

The CS 85 ST-T and CS 135 ST-T can scan more than just color: Both scanners support multimodal scanning, including:

3D

Depth

With specialized operation modes, our scanners can acquire the 3D surface and structural depth using the photometric stereo method. Camera, optics, and lights have been optimized for optimal depth measurements using this method. This method allows capturing even the finest details like leather pores.

The acquired depth information is in perfect synchronization with the color and other modes and can be exported as a gray value image for further processing.

Custom Shading

Diffuse Color

With both scanners you can use the power of CRUSE Factory, giving you full control over shape, appearance and lighting.

Factory and Haptic Printing: The perfect combination

The CS 85 ST-T and CS 135 ST-T scanners were designed to aquire all the relevant data you need for haptic printing with UV-ink based printers. With Factory’s relighting and import features, all aspects of 3D scans like color, gloss or depth can be edited using standard image manipulation software.

Factory / Slice Export

Factory can directly export data for all types of haptic printers allowing fine grained control over depth slicing.

Structure Simulation:

Optionally, CRUSE Structure Simulation allows editing of 3D structures and colors in perfect alignement at professional level.

Both scanner require little physical space and are even movable allowing easy installment near a proof printer.

In summary, the new medium format scanners are the perfect companion for haptic printers when it comes to décor design, haptic proofs or fine art reproduction.

Profiling Printers with CRUSE Profile Scan

Coming with Version 2.5 of CRUSE Design Studio, Cruse offers a new software module CRUSE Profile Scan allowing fast and easy printer profiling. Profile Scan is usable with nearly all existing CRUSE scanners including the new medium-size series.

How does it work

At the heart of CRUSE Profile Scan is our well-established scanner profiling method using CRUSE ICC Professional Profile. Being optimized for the highest color fidelity, our sensor, optics, and lights can be used to measure color deviations up to a very small scale.

Compared to standard spectral measuring devices, our scanners can acquire measurements at a much higher pace, allowing the measurement of entire charts within seconds.

At the same time, Cruse scanners come with an exceptionally large color gamut (see picture on the right) that entirely contains the gamut of print devices like inkjet printers. To put it in simpler words: while the scanner gamut is limited, is it clearly big enough to profile printers.

When using spectral devices for profiling, the number of color patches is usually limited for practical and efficiency reasons. Profiling using CRUSE scanners is basically unlimited in the number of patches. As a higher number of patches in profiling patches is significantly contributing to the profile’s quality, this method more than overcompensates the restricted scanner gamut in typical applications.

Targets and Profiles at your Fingertips

In Profile Scan you can easily create and manage profiling targets and printer profiles.

The size of targets can be customized to your needs. Sizes can clearly exceed standard chart formats like A4 or even A3. As measurements are quick, targets with 10.000 patches and more are possible.

Each profiling target with CRUSE Profile is registered and marked with a machine-readable code. This code is automatically recognized by CRUSE Profile Scan. With a single click, a target is scanned, recognized and profile creation starts immediately.

The integrated target and profile management keeps track of all profiling targets, printers, and profiles.

In gray: gamut of an ink jet printer

The scanner’s gamut is much larger containing the entire printer gamut

Certified for ColorGATE

As an option, using CRUSE Profile Scan your Cruse scanner becomes a certified color measurement device for ColorGATE’s RIP. In this way, it can be used as any other measurement device to create profiles in ColorGATE Productionserver and also works with ColorGATE’s Fingerprint module.
