Nottingham-based ArtSystems and its partner Colortrac will soon be launching a new range of wide format scanners into the UK market.

Colortrac is a pioneer of large format colour scanning and an innovator in affordable colour and monochrome wide format scanning technology; the new Colortrac SmartLF SG wide format scanner range will offer hi-fidelity colour reproduction of large-format documents.

The new Colortrac SmartLF SG scanner has been specifically developed for professionals working in scanning and reprographics businesses. It will offer superb electronic document capture （TWAIN） and high-end technical imaging within AEC, CAD, Mapping and GIS.

The SmartLF SG CCD scanner range has professional standard cameras and is quick and easy to use. It’s suitable for scanning and copying all documents up to 36 or 44 inches wide, with easy adjustment for different media thicknesses up to 15mm.

Colortrac Product Manager Declan Tyler says of the new SmartLF SG: “With a high-speed Ethernet and USB3 interface there’s no stopping or waiting. The imaging technology is based on the same CCD sensors used in professional high-quality cameras and will match the most discerning demands. On top of this, the new, completely unique feature of simple manually-operated height adjustment makes handling of different documents very easy for the busy user. So, the Smart LF SG is always the right choice.”

The first opportunity to see the new Colortrac SmartLF SG scanners in action in the UK will be during September and October, when a series of technology days will be hosted by ArtSystems and its partners.
