Artograph Prism Art Projector User Manual

Model: 25090

Product Overview

The Artograph Prism Art Projector is a high-quality, single lens, tabletop opaque projector designed for convenient projection of various art forms, including artwork, designs, patterns, prints, and line drawings, onto a vertical surface. Its reversible lens allows for a wide projection range, from 80% reduction up to 20 times enlargement, providing full-color reproduction. The projector features 500-Watts of photo-quality lighting (two 250-Watt bulbs) for a bright and clear image. The 7" x 7" (178 x 178 mm) top-loading area simplifies the placement of your original material. Magnetic door latches and a spring clip ensure your original stays flat and secure during projection. For optimal performance and to prevent overheating, the unit is fan-cooled and includes thermal overload circuit protection. A darkened room is required for maximum visibility and projection clarity.
