Colortrac Ltd was incorporated in November 1989 by the Managing Director Graham Tinn. At the time he was a partner in a consultancy business providing services to the Oil & Gas Exploration industry. The idea to create a company dedicated to development of large format color scanners came from a requirement in that business to ‘track’ color markups present in large format seismic sections (http://www.geus.dk/ghexis/Gh19_2.gif) that described the rock and sediment structures of the North Sea ocean floor.
Hence the name Colortrac is a combination of the words colour and track. Why an English person and a UK based and privately owned company chose to use the American spelling of color and drop the k from track is no longer remembered and must remain a mystery.

Colortrac’s business in this very large territory is handled by a regional distributor, Russian Industrial Company in Moscow (see www.colortrac.ru and www.cad.ru).

At a time when business news is gloom and doom with down-turned curves and red numbers we at Colortrac are lucky to have just finished launching a series of new products. We have recently launched new products both in the field of technical imaging and high-end graphic scanning, using the absolute latest technology in large format scanning. While our competitors keep selling the same old stuff they have sold for years only with changed product names and a new colour on the box, Colortrac continue to develop newer and newer products, surfing on the wave of technical innovation, offering high-tech scanning in high definition. And not only that: The new Colortrac products offer their high performance at lower prices than anything comparable in the market.

The beautiful view of Bergamo, near to Milan, northern Italy and home of Neolt S.p.A. - the Colortrac distributor in Italy for many years. Also shown are the Gx+ 28 scanner, the offices of Neolt and Peter and Bruno.
Today saw the first of two Colortrac EMEA distributor conferences formally announcing the now complete 3-width model line-up of the new SmartLF Gx+ range of LED CCD scanners. Peter Sandberg (European Sales) and myself (Sales & Marketing) were there to deliver the conference. Also on show was a refresher presentation of the recently introduced Ci 40 low-cost paper scanner extolling the virtues of its small footprint, good colour performance, speed and low cost.

Welcome to the new Colortrac ‘life of a large format scanner manufacturer’ blog.
This is our second version. We were very happy with the first version and posted what we considered to be good useful content on it. However, someone made changes in our web hosting package to support sharepoint, and other stuff I don’t understand or care about too much, and our blog got zapped.
We were very upset, it was personal and it’s taken us 6 months to get over it so we can try again. We will certainly be looking after back-ups and security properly this time around.
I hope you find our posts useful and informative, and we will welcome your feedback and questions.
Thank you,
Peter de Winter-Brown
