Energy utility installs eleven SmartLF scanners

Perfect Colours, an Allied Images SmartLF accredited reseller, has supplied eleven SmartLF 4080e large format scanners to a SE England based energy utility. The scanners will be based in offices across SE England and used to scan many different document types including engineering drawings and site plans. Over a quarter of the UK population benefit from the utility's distribution of electricity. They are also a major generator and supply electricity and gas through a number of regional brands.

SmartLF is a high performance color/monochrome large format scanner with innovative contact image sensor technology that delivers fast yet cost-effective large format image capture. The scanners are designed to provide the semi-professional and office scanning market with a future-proofed solution via hardware and software enhancement options. Whether it is maps or monochrome line drawings SmartLF delivers accuracy and quality with maximum workflow at an affordable cost.

A major factor in the purchase decision was SmartLF's very affordable cost - less than £5,000 for an A0+ color scanner. Steve Morin, Allied's MD commented that "the launch of SmartLF is having a considerable impact on the market by creating opportunities for customers who previously were prohibited from owning a scanner due to high prices."

The order included ScanWorks and CopySmart software utilities. ScanWorks is a powerful yet easy to use scan-to-file application designed for high volume archiving projects where maximum scanner productivity, low cost of operation and excellent image quality are essential for success. CopySmart is a high-speed digital scanning solution for large format document copying applications.
