Technical Document Wide Format Scanners

Blueprint scanner

If you need a CAD or blueprint scanner, or need to scan any wide format technical document, we recommend the SmartLF Cx 40 or Ci 40 wide format scanner ranges.

While you can scan wide format technical documents like CAD drawings or blueprints using any Colortrac scanner, the SmartLF Cx 40 and Ci 40 are particularly suitable as CAD or blueprint scanners because they use CIS imaging technology. This creates very sharp scans ideal for picking out fine details and lines.

A SmartLF Ci 40 or Cx 40 is ideal if you need a CAD or blueprint scanner.

If your technical documents are dirty or in poor condition, we also recommend ScanWorks software. This allows you to quickly and easily clean up CAD drawings or blueprints.
