The new multi-function scanning and copying application is enhanced with TWAIN, Scan-to-Email and DWF Format.

Contex – the world’s leading wide format scanner manufacturer – today announced a new upgrade to Nextimage multi-function scanning and copying software.

This upgrade, available in 10 languages, includes innovations that extend the value and capabilities of installed first release Nextimage. Earlier this year, Contex released a completely new user experience with Nextimage. Now, with many new and enhanced features including a built-in TWAIN driver, Scan-to-Email, DWF file format support and automatic palette creation in 8-bit color mode, Nextimage advances its position as the most powerful scanning and copying software in the industry today.

Nextimage version 1.5 is a free upgrade to existing Nextimage users. WIDEimage users, Contex’ previous generation of scanning software, can now save 40% if they upgrade to Nextimage SCAN before Dec 31, 2008.
