Colortrac unveil expanding large format scanner line-up at the IRgA reprographics show

Visitors to the booth will see an advanced high performance A1 / D-size flatbed color scanner. Using CCD optical imaging technology to capture high quality images at high speed, a scan of an 24 x 33 document is saved in less than 20 seconds at 400dpi optical resolution via a high speed Gigabit Ethernet interface. Capable of great accuracy, it is perfect for fragile or uneven materials, like very thick or heavy media, wood grain, fabrics and framed art.

Also debuting at the show is a new and fully-adjustable Universal Repro Stand (URS) that creates an operator-friendly, high productivity, multi-function system.

The ability of the new URS to unify a large format scanner and printer in a single, more productive MFP solution allows reprographics and other wide format scanning professionals to maximize their investment in individual large format scanners and printers. The URS enhances the ease with which large format scanner operators work by allowing the height at which the scanner sits above the printer to be adjusted to that which is most comfortable. Also, the operator can adjust the height and position of the keyboard and mouse and the position and angle of the monitor on the URS in order to create a personalized MFP workstation for maximum man/machine interaction and professional reprographics and other scanning productivity.

Also on display will be the SmartLF Gx+ 56, the world's widest large format color graphics scanner. At the other, shorter end of the scale, Colortrac Inc will be demonstrating two A1 / D-size large format scanners, the 28 wide, CCD-based SmartLF Gx+ 28 and its latest scanner, the new 24 wide, CIS-based SmartLF Ci 24 which uses exactly the same design as the award-winning SmartLF Ci 40. As a desktop scanner, the SmartLF Ci 24 offers the smallest footprint of any similar device. This, coupled with its unique and sensible front exiting media path, offers users with limited space a huge space-saving advantage over rival 24 desktop scanners with much bigger footprints and the disadvantage of desk-disrupting rear exiting media.

All SmartLF scanners will be demonstrated running Colortrac's SmartLF All-in-One Software, (supplied with every SmartLF scanner), as well as the optional and more powerful ScanWorks (for scanning technical documents and maps) and CopySmart (professional color capture and scan to copy software).
