Contex, the world's leading developer of wide format scanning and imaging solutions, announces that its new XD2490 MFP will be shown publicly for the first time at the American Institute of Architects (AIA) National Convention and Design Exposition 2010, June 10-12, in Miami.

Announced in April, the MFP pairs the low-cost XD2490 wide format scanner and easy-to-use Nextimage software with a custom stand. The lightweight XD2490 MFP is ideal for architects and engineers, offering a full series of multi-use functions to scan, copy, and communicate. This space-saving, single-footprint multi-function solution retails for less than $5,200 and can be coupled with most 24-inch printers, such as those from HP and Canon. At the Expo, Contex will demonstrate its new MFP with Canon's new 24-inch imagePROGRAF iPF655 in the Contex booth, #2499.

"We decided to officially unveil our XD2490MFP solution at this year's AIA show because this is the perfect solution for an architect's office. The XD2490 24-inch scanner creates high-quality scans of drawings, sketches, renderings, and markups, which are all commonly used and shared daily within an architectural firm," comments Phil Magenheim, President and COO for Contex Americas, Inc. "When the XD2490MFP is coupled with a wide format inkjet printer, an architect has the added value of being easily able to make copies of those same documents. This is the most cost-effective way for an architect to make professional scans and prints--color or black-and-white--of wide format drawings in his or her own office."

Accommodating the full range of budgets within the architectural field, Contex leads this industry with quality, wide-format scanning solutions. AIA Expo attendees will see how wide format scanning and scan-to-print solutions can help with productivity and collaboration, enabling users to quickly capture a wide format drawing and share it remotely. The wide format scanning solutions also provide CAD/GIS users with the ability include paper drawings into their projects without having to redraw or extract data. Scanned images can be edited or enhanced from within CAD or GIS, making the scanned document a complementary part of a CAD project, BIM, or GIS dataset.
