Ambir Technology Launches New Compact Photo Scanner

October 2004 – Ambir Technology, an innovative manufacturer and marketer of peripherals and accessories for laptops, desktops and mobile use, today officially launched the Visigo Photo Scanner. The Visigo Photo Scanner is the only small footprint USB powered scanner on market, providing the same capabilities of traditional flatbed and ADF (automatic document feeder) scanners. It is more than 10 times smaller than a traditional flatbed scanner and perfect for easily scanning in 4x6 photos. Once photos are scanned with Visigo, they can be added to your digital collection, where you can edit, archive and share them with ease.

“Because most print photos are 4x6 or smaller, traditional flatbed scanners are overkill for consumers who simply want to digitize their favorite prints,” said Ambir Technology Vice President of Sales and Marketing Al Ingallinera. “Visigo’s sheet-fed scanning mechanism will scan your 3x5 and 4x6 photos, creating high-quality digital images of your favorite prints. Even more, you can also digitally capture panoramic prints up to 4x9.”

Here are the key benefits:

- Compact – Comparable in size to a stapler and as easy to use as its flatbed counterparts, the Visigo Photo Scanner makes it easy to integrate your favorite print photos into your digital photo collection. The scanner’s small footprint makes it non-intrusive on your desktop and easy to store out of sight.

- Portable – Comparative size and weight to a stapler makes these scanners easy to transport.

- Affordable – With the suggested retail price of $149.95, the Visigo Photo Scanner is an affordable, convenient and quality alternative to traditional flatbed scanners.

- Quality & Durability – Despite its small size, Visigo Photo Scanner will scan at up to 600 dpi, which enables the digital files to be printed at 8x10 inches and larger. Designed for continuous use greater than scanning 7 days a week for more than 5 years.

- Easy-To-Use – Scanners come with easy-to-use software. The USB interface allows for a fast and easy one-cable hook-up to both desktop PCs and notebook computers. Once print photos are scanned with Visigo, they can be added to your digital collection, where you can edit, archive and share them with ease.
