Costa Mesa, CA – September 30, 2014 – Paradigm Imaging Group, the North American distributor for Colortrac, Inc., announces the launch of a brand new product solution from Colortrac:

  • SmartLF SG series – Colortrac’s FASTEST most PRODUCTIVE CCD scanner

Sharp and accurate – with superb color
The new SmartLF SG Series scanners, available in 36? and 44?, are perfect for capturing sharply defined detail on technical drawings and maps as well as the vibrant, accurate colors needed by graphics professionals.
SmartLF SG Series large format scanners have all the advantages of CCD technology’s superior color imaging – the ability to scan a wide gamut (range of colors) and a high dynamic range (ability to see detail in dark and light areas) – combined with 1200 dpi optical resolution, the highest optical resolution available in any CCD wide format scanner in the market today. This makes them perfect for capturing vibrant, accurate colors for graphics professionals as well as sharply defined line detail on technical documents and maps.
All the benefits of CCD – without the downsides
Traditional CCD scanners have superior color imaging but are disadvantaged by their fluorescent lighting systems. By using white LEDs instead of fluorescent tubes, the SmartLF SG is able to maximize the benefits of CCD while saving time and energy. ClearView white LED illumination used in SmartLF SG produces high quality scans just like fluorescent illumination but unlike fluorescent tubes the color temperature from LEDs remains stable from first power-up to final power-down. No more waiting for warm-up to complete, simply turn SG scanners on and scan!
High productivity
All models scan monochrome at 13 inches per second (200 dpi). If you need high volume color scanning, choose the express color e model which scans color at 8 inches per second (200 dpi). In addition, with other wide format scanners operators often need to perform multiple pre-scans of selected image areas to get scan settings right. With the SmartLF SG large format scanner and SmartWorks Pro software scanning only needs to happen once. “Scan-it-once” technology gives you a huge workflow advantage. You can perform quality assurance and adjustments in-line, “right-first-time”, instead of needing to re-scan quality control failures off-line after batch scanning is completed.
Upgradable
There are (3) high definition scanner models in each size (36in or 44in) with performance levels and features optimized for different applications and scanning needs. If requirements change, the M (monochrome) and C (color) models can be easily remotely upgraded to a higher level. The E (enhanced) upgrade offers the highest color scan speed. In addition, scanning widths can be upgraded as well, from 36” to a 44” scan width!

  • Hi-Fidelity color reproduction for scanning and reprographics service professionals
