Large format color scanner

  • m (monocrome)
    Black and white, grayscale.
  • c (color)
    Black and white, grayscale, 8-bit color, 24-bit color.
  • e (express color)
    Black and white, grayscale, 4 x faster 8-bit color, 4 x faster 24-bit color.

Because our scanners are upgradeable, you can buy what you need when you need it.

If your initial requirement is for a large format monochrome scanner only, you can buy a monochrome scanner now and upgrade to a large format color scanner if and when you need it. If your inital requirement is for infrequent color scanning, you can buy a large format color scanner now and upgrade to a faster express color model should your color scanning volume increase.

You can upgrade your scanner quickly and easily, by email. There is no need for you to return the scanner to us or for a service engineer to call.

Large format monochrome scanners

All Colortrac scanners are suitable for monochrome scanning, but if you need monochrome only choose a Colortrac SmartLF Cx 40, Ci 40 or Gx m model.

Large format color scanners for simple color scanning

If you need to capture color but exact color matching is not important to you, choose a Colortrac SmartLF Cx 40, Ci 40 or Gx c or e model. Buy a c model if your color scanning volumes are low or an e model if your color scanning volumes are high - e models are four times faster.

Large format color scanners for superb quality color scanning with color matching

If accurate, vivid color is important to you, we recommend a SmartLF Gx large format color scanner with CopySmart and or ScanWorks software.

  • SmartLF Gx scanners use CCD imaging technology to capture superb color images with exceptional shadow and highlight detail.

    Buy a SmartLF Gx c model if your color scanning volumes are low or a SmartLF Gx e model if your color scanning volumes are high - e models are four times faster than c models.

    CopySmart also supports the x-rite i1 / Eye One spectrophotometer, a color management and measurement tool for professionally profiling wide format graphics and fine art inkjet printers. The spectrophotometer can be used to improve the accuracy of ICC printer profiles, providing exceptionally high quality color definition for graphics perfectionists.
