Wide Format Scanner Technical Terms

Color Space

A color space is a range of colors.

Colortrac SmartLF Cx+ 40 wide format scanners use a RAW RGB color space. They do not conform to a standard color space but simply store colors as scanned.

Colortrac SmartLF Ci 24, Ci 40, Gx+ 28, Gx+ 42 and Gx+ 56 large format scanners can either use RAW RGB or conform to a standard color space called sRGB. When a scan is made the colors are converted to the closest sRGB equivalent. The advantage of conforming to a standard color space is that it improves the user's perception of the scanner's color accuracy. However, it may narrow the scanner's gamut.
