RED HOT NEWSFLASH!
BERTL rate Colortrac SmartLF scanners "BEST IN CLASS"
Last week, we reported that Colortrac had become 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.
Now, in a surprise new announcement, BERTL has upgraded its rating for the Colortrac SmartLF Gx+ T42 and SmartLF Ci 40 scanners to "Best in Class". BERTL believe these SmartLF scanners are significantly better than all other devices in the same class i.e. 42" wide CCD Graphics and 40+" wide CIS scanners!

ISIS for EDM
An image capture standard unique to Colortrac in large format scanning
The ISIS standard is widely used in EDM (Electronic Document Management) because, unlike TWAIN, it guarantees reliable data transfer between a scanner and EDM image acquistion software. At present, only SmartLF wide format scanners support ISIS.
The SmartLF Ci 40e large format scanner has received full ISIS (Image and Scanner Interface Specification) certification from EMC Captiva, the specifier and regulator of the ISIS standard. All other SmartLF large format scanners have proven and reliable support for ISIS but are not yet certfied. Many SmartLF users already use this proven ISIS scanning solution to maximize their scan-to-EDC productivity.
ISIS Driver Availability
Previously SmartLF ISIS drivers were free on request. This policy has now changed.

ETHERNET 1000 CONNECTIVITY
SmartLF Gx+ and Ci wide format scanners have considerable benefits, many unique to Colortrac. One benefit that professional users find attractive is the embedded Ethernet 1000 connectivity. (USB 2.0 is supported as well).
Fast gigabit Ethernet connectivity offers a flexible, high bandwidth solution suited to anyone running a professional network. It offers users the ability to grow to a full 1000Mbps capacity in future if they are currently running at a lower 100Mbps or slower. Gigabit Ethernet network connectivity is the fastest available.
The Bottom Line is that with a SmartLF Gx+ and Ci wide format scanner, you can scan at speed to any selected PC or printer across the office network. Professional Ethernet 1000 connectivity is not something our rivals offer!
OFFICES & PEOPLE
Colortrac celebrate 15 years of success with Macron GmbH.
Colortrac values its relationships. The 15 year partnership with Macron in Germany is one of Colortrac's longest and most fruitful. Long, close and loyal partnerships are the backbone of Colortrac's position in the market.
From L to R: Harm Reimers, Geschäftsführer; Peter Sandberg, Colortrac EMEA Manager; Heike Kutning; Manuela Fuchs; Peter de Winter Brown, Colortrac Sales & Marketing Director; Michael Nawroth, Leiter Vertrieb.
Our loyal German distributor received two Colortrac awards. The first recognises our long association with Macron; the second is for achieving the greatest growth in sales among our distributors during the financial year 2008 - 2009. Thanks to strong distributors like Macron - and others - Colortrac is doing very well, exceeding budget despite the economic difficulties seen in some parts of the world.
Well done, Macron! "Gut gemacht!"
Three Lions in Africa: Applied Imaging, Canon and Colortrac.
Colortrac was invited by its South African distributor, Johannesburg-based Applied Imaging Solutions, to attend a launch event signalling its close co-operation with Canon SA. Like many Colortrac distributors, Applied Imaging sees price and performance benefits in the marriage of Colortrac scanners with Canon wide format printers.
From L to R: Jimmy de Waal, Applied Imaging's Sales Manager with Colortrac's Graham Vaughan and Peter Sandberg.
Previously Canon SA sourced Colortrac scanners direct from Canon Europe. Now, in order to improve service and support, Canon SA obtains Colortrac scanners directly from Applied Imaging who also provide training to Canon's sales and technical staff, as well as end users. This co-operation between Applied Imaging and Canon SA was celebrated with a launch attended by Peter Sandberg, Colortrac's Business Development Manager - EMEA. Peter described the event as "pretty cool".
Following the launch, Graham Vaughan, Colortrac's technical support engineer and training supervisor, gave service training to some 15 employees from Canon SA, including representatives from Botswana and Namibia. "Because they are all engineers, their level of competency is high," he said.
