Contex HD Ultra X 6050
The Contex HD Ultra X 6050 is a professional 60-inch large format scanner built for precision, colour accuracy, and consistent results across oversized documents. As part of the 60-inch class within the HD Ultra X series, the 6050 offers the same expansive width as the 6090 but is optimised for environments where consistent, dependable performance is prioritised over maximum speed.
The HD Ultra X 6050 is also available in a PRO variant, which offers the same 60-inch scanning hardware with enhanced professional functionality. The PRO version includes a full Nextimage Repro software licence, an optional 22-inch multi-touch display, a low-stand configuration, and an upgradeable colour-speed mode for faster throughput. This makes it ideal for reprographic studios, CAD/GIS offices, and production-scale scanning environments.
Micrographic Engineering Services is an authorised dealer of Contex scanners in Australia.
