Part 2 will be emailed to you next week.
Colortrac is 20 years old!
Colortrac is celebrating 20 years of large format scanning innovation, leadership and success.
Colortrac was founded 1989 to design and build the world's first affordable large format color scanner. Since then, year after year, our consistent technical innovation and aggressive pricing has given AEC, CAD, GIS and graphics professionals the best price and performance benefits in wide format scanning. Despite today's global economic downturn, a new generation of award-winning SmartLF large format scanners made 2009 our best year ever.
Roll on 2010!
NEW STANDARDS
New generation SmartLF flagships set the highest standards available

SmartLF wide format scanners using our latest CCD and CIS imaging advances have received BERTL 4.5 Star "OUTSTANDING" ratings.
The new SmartLF Gx+ Series is our sixth generation of large format true 1200 dpi optical CCD scanners. Sporting the very best technology in the CCD market, it out-specifies all rivals. There really isn't another CCD (color graphics) scanner that stands comparison!
The affordable new SmartLF Ci Series are fast, sharp, very accurate, fourth generation CIS technical document scanners. With a unique front exit paper path, they can sit flush against a wall, making them ideal for quick, walk-up-and-go networked scanning in every office.

BERTL rate Colortrac SmartLF scanners "OUTSTANDING"
Colortrac is the first large format scanner manufacturer to achieve a BERTL (Business Equipment Research Testing Labs) 4.5 Star "OUTSTANDING" rating for both CCD (Gx+ T42) and CIS (Ci 40) wide format scanners.
Our rival wide format scanner manufacturer has not achieved this feat nor won a higher rating. Colortrac is delivering industry-leading large format scanners with the best price and performance benefits available today!

PETIT NEW DESKTOP SCANNER
SmartLF Ci 24 Series
The super-small, super-fast SmartLF Ci 24 is the most aggressively priced new A1 / D-size large format CIS scanner available today.
The SmartLF Ci 24's unique ability to sit flush against a wall allows cost-conscious buyers to find a place for it in even the smallest office.
Lightweight and compact, the SmartLF Ci 24 is a 24" wide version of the award-winning, 40" wide SmartLF Ci 40, rated "OUTSTANDING " by BERTL. Both use exactly the same "clamshell design" and optical imaging technology.
A front exiting paper path facilitates quick, on-demand, walk-up scanning. Unlike all rear exiting "desktop" scanners, the Ci 24 can be operated on a desk without clearing it first or placed on a shelf flush against a wall. No other scanner, except the SmartLF Ci 40, can do this.
The SmartLF Ci 24 is designed to scan A1 / D-size technical documents and maps fast in high resolution monochrome, greyscale and or color. Its mix of supplied software, simple operation, networkability, speed, accuracy, reliability and high performance provides unbeatable value at a price lower than all similarly-sized, competing products.
