Technical Document Wide Format Scanners
All Colortrac scanners are ideal for scanning CAD drawings, blueprints or any wide format technical document.
If you only want to scan technical documents, choose a SmartLF Cx+ 40, Ci 24 or Ci 40 wide format scanner. If you want the versatility to scan technical documents, artwork and photos, choose one of the Gx+ scanners.
If your technical documents are dirty or in poor condition, we also recommend SmartWorks Pro software. This allows you to quickly and easily clean up CAD drawings or blueprints.

Alan Darbyshire (above) provides a range of services from contract drafting to wide format scanning. Alan says, "I've found the SmartLF to be the ideal complement to my training and 2D/3D drafting business. I've scanned up to 3,000 drawings in a month, though 1,000 is a more normal volume ... Am I getting a return? Yes, absolutely."
A SmartLF wide format scanner on its own or combined with ScanWorks software [now SmartWorks Pro] is the ideal choice if you need a CAD or blueprint scanner, or need to scan any wide format technical document.
