WideTEK 48ART Scanner
$57,990.00
WideTEK 48ART Scanner delivers contact-free scanning of fine art paintings and artwork up to 48x80 inches using 5 CCD cameras at 1200 dpi.
The WideTEK 48ART Scanner revolutionizes fine-art digitization with contact-free scanning technology that safeguards valuable paintings, watercolors, and mixed-media pieces from any risk of damage. Engineered for museums, galleries, professional artists, and serious collectors, it delivers museum-grade digital reproductions that faithfully capture the character and craftsmanship of the original work.
At the heart of the system are 5 high-resolution CCD cameras that capture artwork at a stunning 1200 dpi with accurate, true-to-life color reproduction. Its expansive 48" x 80" scanning bed comfortably accommodates large-format paintings, drawings, and mixed-media pieces, while advanced 3D texture mapping records the subtle details that define fine art — brush strokes, canvas weave, wood grain, and surface relief — bringing depth and dimension to every digital file.
Designed for both performance and ease of use, the WideTEK 48ART offers an adjustable clearance of up to 9.5" to accommodate thick frames and dimensional artwork, paired with a motorized table (with manual override) for smooth, precise positioning of every piece. Operators stay in full control through a 17" HD touchscreen with a visual control window, making setup and scanning intuitive from start to finish. Despite its precision, the scanner delivers impressive throughput — 1.66 ips at 300 dpi for standard color scans and 0.83 ips when capturing full 3D texture detail — so studios and institutions can digitize their collections efficiently without compromising quality.

Features
Contact-Free Scanning of Fragile Material or Wet Artwork
Originals are moved fully automatically under the CCD camera elements without ever touching the scanner, making it safe for oil and acrylic paintings, watercolors, charcoal and pastel drawings, mixed media collages, and antique works — with or without frames. Even still-wet paintings can be scanned, provided the piece is framed or the edges are dry enough to rest on the scanning bed.
Manual or Motorized Scan Table
Operators can position artwork precisely using motorized control or switch to manual movement when fine adjustments are needed. Motorized focus adjustment up to 5.5 inches.
Dual LED Lamps with Integrated Natural Light Diffusor
Cool, IR/UV-free illumination with no warm-up time protects valuable art from color distortion and damage caused by excessive light exposure, while delivering balanced, true-to-life color.
Large 17-Inch Color Touchscreen for Simplified Operation
Simplifies operation with intuitive on-screen controls, paired with a 10" viewport window beneath the display that lets operators watch the artwork as it passes under the CCD cameras.
Single Path Texture Scanning with Patent Pending Stitching
Captures every surface detail! From the finest brush stroke to heavy gouache techniques, in a single pass, with seamless image stitching for flawless reproductions.
