Graphic Paintbox

The Graphic Paintbox and Repro Paintbox systems are designed to allow an artist or designer to create images rapidly and easily, from any mixture of scanned-in images, hand-drawn illustrative work, letter and symbol shapes from a set of conventional type faces. It does this by simulating the operation and feel of a paintbrush, chalk, airbrush etc electronically while the image being created is displayed on a high-definition (1125) line colour monitor. Its output can be converted to printed or photographic hard copy by a number of possible processes.

The Graphic Paintbox and Repro Paintbox systems can interface directly or indirectly to numerous peripherals:

• Desktop Scanners
• Mailbox
• IEEE Interface
• Magnetic Tape
• Drum Scanners
• Magneto Optical Disk
• Springboard
• Gateway
• Proofers

All the above peripherals are available from our sales department.

Springboard will allow you to connect your Mailbox directly to a PC and convert GPB format pictures to standard *.tiff images for distribution amongst PC's or Macs. It also give the ability to archive images onto standard high capacity PC style hard drives.
