Allied Images logo

Allied Images, UK and Ireland distributor for Colortrac’s large format scanners, is pleased to announce that it has reduced the prices on Colortrac SmartLF Ci40 and Gx+42 scanners - its most popular models - by up to 10% and included first year on-site warranty in the purchase price. Users can now benefit from a Colortrac SmartLF Ci40m scanner solution for as little as £3,495 or £19 per week on a leasing plan*.

Allied Images has further reduced the total cost of ownership by including first-year engineer on-site warranty in the purchase price. User already benefit from the standard two years return-to-factory warranty but many users for whom their scanner is a critical equipment item have upgraded their maintenance cover to engineer on-site at extra cost. Allied Images is now including engineer on-site warranty in the original purchase price as an extra benefit for all customers.

Steve Morin, Allied Images MD said, “Colortrac SmartLF is a new approach to high performance wide format scanner design that adopts value for money as its core principle. Colortrac's goal is simple; to design and build large format scanners that offer industry best resolution and accuracy, performance and image quality, at the best possible price. Anyone investing in a SmartLF HD wide format scanner can be sure they are buying a product designed to provide excellent value for money and deliver high productivity throughout its working life. Now, with this downward price adjustment and first year engineer on-site warranty users will get even better value for money.”

Colortrac SmartLF large format scanners are ideal for all wide format scanning, archiving, copying and printing jobs across the range of large format scanning applications for sheet-feed paper documents and flat, mounted originals up to 0.8" (20mm) thickness. The scanners use Contact Image Sensor – ideal for technical documents – or Charge Coupled Device - best for graphics – imaging technologies so the user is assured that there is a SmartLF scanner that will deliver perfect results.

The scanners, priced from £3.495 to £13,995, are available from Allied Images’ resellers who may be contacted for full specifications, pricing information and promotional offers.

* Based on a leasing period of 60 months.
