- Summary
- COI synopsis: High quality colour printing has been available for some time, but it’s a lengthy process, unsuitable for newspapers. With television bringing up-to-the-minute news straight into the home in full colour, the newspaper editor needs to do the same. Magnascan is an electronic machine which turns a colour photo into front-page news in just forty minutes.
