Colortrac SmartLF Gx 42 large format scanner Wins Reader's Choice Top Product of 2009 Award.

SmartLF Gx 42 wins Top Product of 2009 Award

Readers of Wide-Format Imaging magazine have voted the Colortrac SmartLF Gx 42 professional color graphics scanner series the "Best Large Format Scanner" available in the Wide-Format Scanner 2009 category.

This is the fourth Wide-Format Imaging Reader's Choice Top Products Awards and the first which Colortrac has won. This award endorses the growing reputation of Colortrac's industry-leading, high definition, high fidelity color graphics large format scanning technology.

Colortrac cannot have won a better endorsement for the SmartLF Gx series. Wide-Format Imaging is read by wide-format professionals in sign shops, digital print shops, screen printing, reprographics firms, service bureaus, quick printers, color photo labs and exhibition building industries. They voted the SmartLF Gx 42 wide format scanner for making the biggest contribution to their business' bottom-line. By awarding it their Reader's Choice Top Product Wide Format Scanner Award 2009, these experienced scanning professionals have confirmed the SmartLF Gx 42 is the outstanding large format professional color scanner available today.

The Colortrac SmartLF Gx offers affordable high definition power and performance based on CCD technology optimized for high quality color imaging. The wide color gamut and high dynamic range based on industry-leading 1200 x 600dpi high optical resolution delivers the large format scanning industry's best color capture across a 42" imaging width. The ability to capture both superb color with full shadow detail suits artwork, photographs and sketches. Its power to resolve fine details suits technical drawings and maps. This dual capability provides a full solution for the different requirements of scanning color graphics and technical documents. With two solutions in one wide format scanner, it is unsurprising that the SmartLF Gx 42 is now the first choice of Wide Format Imaging's professional readers when asked to recommend the best, most cost-effective large format scanner that has benefited their business.

Ironically, Colortrac has won this award as it prepares to launch a new and impressively specified SmartLF Gx+ series of true 1200 x 1200dpi optical resolution, CCD (charge coupled device) wide format scanners. The all new Gx+ range builds on the success of the SmartLF Gx 42 with long-life, instant-on LED illumination, power-saving ENERGY STAR compliance and Gigabit Ethernet network connectivity for fast data transfer times. Available in three imaging widths – 28”, 42” and 56” – the SmartLF Gx+ range is, in Colortrac’s opinion, their best ever scanner, achieving higher productivity and higher quality, at the same affordable price point as the current SmartLF Gx scanners.

"We are delighted that the readers of Wide-Format Imaging voted the SmartLF Gx 42 wide format scanner the best product 2009 in the large format scanner category. This feedback confirms we are on the right track and providing our customers with excellent products and value for money. We are confident that the new SmartLF Gx+ range offers unrivalled flexibility and high speed in production of sharp, clean scans of technical documents, as well as outstanding color fidelity for copying and printing on a wide variety of large format printers. It is an excellent system for any business that wants both top-end color scanning along with high speed monochrome options. There is no doubt that the SmartLF Gx 42 has by far the most attractive price in today’s market and we expect the new SmartLF Gx+ scanners to have a major impact," says Peter de Winter Brown, Colortrac's Sales and Marketing Director.
