Contex still uses fluorescent bulbs (replacement is up to $900-, because you can’t just replace the bulb, you have to replace the sleeve). When the bulb dims, as fluorescent bulbs do, more calibration is required, and a warm up period is required before you can use the scanner. Colortrac uses LED’s. They last forever (almost), they are instant on and they provide a constant bright white light. There is no degradation from end to end because of weak spots on the bulb.
-
Colortrac optional SmartWorks Pro Scan provides a scan-once Software, so you can make all the adjustments after the scan.
