BLINKSCAN REVIEW

Your scanner is stupid. You
might not know that, but it is.
Thankfully, Expand NY Insert
Coin semi-finalist BlinkScan is
here to give you what you never
knew you needed. It's a device
that scans images, documents or
even objects like many other
scanners out there, but unlike
those dumb machines, BlinkScan
tailors its output. Instead of
producing a single image with
everything lumped together, it
crops out the individual items
scanned (so that the background
is completely eliminated),
straightens the resulting images
and exports them as separate
files to your photo editing
software of choice -- all in about
three seconds. BlinkScan also
delivers super-high-quality
pictures thanks to its unique
image-capture method, which
the company calls "perfect color
capture." To get such fidelity,
the device takes three separate
10-megapixel monochromatic
images (red, blue and green)
and combines them into a 36-bit,
30-megapixel image.
