Colortrac will be demonstrating some new products on their booth #112 at the IRgA 2010 Convention & Trade Show being held at the Palm Springs Convention Center, California, USA, (May 19th - 21st, 2010).

Visitors to the booth will see an advanced high performance A1 / D-size flatbed color scanner.  Using CCD optical imaging technology to capture high quality images at high speed, a scan of an 24" x 33" document is saved in less than 20 seconds at 400dpi optical resolution via a high speed Gigabit Ethernet interface. Capable of great accuracy, it is perfect for fragile or uneven materials, like very thick or heavy media, wood grain, fabrics and framed art.

Also debuting at the show is a new and fully-adjustable Universal Repro Stand (URS) that creates an operator-friendly, high productivity, multi-function system.

The ability of the new URS to unify a large format scanner and printer in a single, more productive MFP solution allows reprographics and other wide format scanning professionals to maximize their investment in individual large format scanners and printers. The URS enhances the ease with which large format scanner operators work by allowing the height at which the scanner sits above the printer to be adjusted to that which is most comfortable.  Also, the operator can adjust the height and position of the keyboard and mouse and the position and angle of the monitor on the URS in order to create a personalized MFP workstation for maximum man/machine interaction and professional reprographics and other scanning productivity.

Also on display will be the SmartLF Gx+ 56, the world's widest large format color graphics scanner. At the other, shorter end of the scale, Colortrac Inc will be demonstrating two A1 / D-size large format scanners, the 28" wide, CCD-based SmartLF Gx+ 28 and its latest scanner, the new 24" wide, CIS-based SmartLF Ci 24 which uses exactly the same design as the award-winning SmartLF Ci 40. As a desktop scanner, the SmartLF Ci 24 offers the smallest footprint of any similar device. This, coupled with its unique and sensible front exiting media path, offers users with limited space a huge space-saving advantage over rival 24" desktop scanners with much bigger footprints and the disadvantage of desk-disrupting rear exiting media.

Colortrac is a leading innovator in large format scanners and scanning solutions software since 1989.  Its SmartLF Ci 40e (enhanced color) technical document scanner, recently awarded a BERTL 4 ½-Star ?Outstanding? rating, is now available with a certified ISIS (Image and Scanner Interface Specification) driver.

Created by Pixel Translations (now EMC Corporation) in 1990, ISIS is a software standard for the acquisition, viewing, format conversion, printing and storage of documents in order to ensure consistent and reliable communication between hardware and software.  ISIS is the basis for a public domain standard, ANSI/AIIM MS61-1996 Application Programming Interface (API) for Scanners in Document Imaging Systems, issued also as ISO 14984.  Over 300, high speed small format document scanners are available with this industry standard, enterprise-level interface which ensures that scanned information is quickly and reliably integrated into EDM (electronic document management) and EDC (electronic document capture) applications for digital distribution, processing and storage.

Colortrac has pioneered the use of ISIS for its large format scanners since 2003, when the Colortrac 3680e scanner ISIS driver was developed.  Over the years Colortrac has supplied many customers with its wide format scanners and ISIS drivers.  Users find the familiar ISIS scanning interface and workflow reduces staff training costs, and they can be confident that a certified and tested connection, allows easy expansion of their EDM system to manage scanned wide format documents such as technical drawings and maps.

Colortrac Sales and Marketing Director, Peter de Winter-Brown says, ?Recent sales successes and economic conditions have re-focused our marketing efforts in the EDM / EDC market and a key element of our strategy is to strengthen our product offering to these important prospective customers.  The SmartLF Ci 40 large format scanner range is ideally suited to EDC / EDM applications with its high speed, colour capability and small footprint.?

8th July 2009, St Ives, Cambridge, UK; Colortrac will present its industry-leading, high definition wide format scanning technology to geospatial professionals and educators at the world's biggest Geographic Information Systems (GIS) event in the San Diego Convention Center, California, 14th - 16th July 2009, Booth 204.

A three time exhibitor at this popular international GIS conference, Colortrac is currently enrolling in the ESRI Complementary Technology Provider (CTP) program.   Colortrac's aim for CTP membership is to raise awareness of its SmartLF large format scanner ranges to provide solutions in the important worldwide GIS market.  GIS is used by many branches of government and energy industries and is less affected by economic conditions than AEC and other industrial wide format markets where Colortrac traditionally sells its products.

Malcolm Lane, President of Colortrac Inc, will support staff from GEI WideFormat, Colortrac's US distributor, as they demonstrate the benefits of the SmartLF large format scanning solutions in the GIS workplace.

Geo-spatial professionals can improve their workflow by the quick and easy capture of very sharp, highly accurate scanned color images of maps and town plans, etc.  Colortrac's attractively priced SmartLF large format scanners and software solutions offer productivity benefits to the global GIS community.  As an ESRI CTP, Colortrac's aim is to enhance the ESRI users' GIS productivity through a choice of "best fit" imaging technologies, simplified and reliable operation, fast scan speeds, and intuitive scanning and printing software solutions to achieve the best high quality color images at a lower cost than was previously possible.

North Canton, Ohio , November 6, 2008.  Mr. Phil Trembly, National Sales Director of GEI WideFormat, a Visual Edge Technology Company, announced today that the company has received the first shipment of the new SmartLF Ci 40 large format scanners and his team is taking orders now.
