FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: THE NEW
COLORTRAC SMARTLF CX40 SCANNER
St. Ives, Cambridge, UK 13th January 2006
Colortrac unit sales grew by 60% in 2005. Can they do better
in 2006 with the NEW SmartLF Cx 40? In September 2004 Colortrac
launched the SmartLF 4080 range of wide format scanners and
rapidly established itself as the world-wide market leader
for CIS (contact image sensor) scanners. Last year, SmartLF
4080 was the driving force, creating new markets for large
format scanners and Colortrac achieved 60% unit sales growth
year-on-year.
January 2006 sees the launch of the 4080's successor - SmartLF
Cx 40.
This brand new wide format scanner looks very similar from
the outside, retaining the 4080's compact and lightweight
design, however, under the skin things are very different.
New features for Cx 40 include; 600dpi optical resolution,
48-bit colour data capture and the advanced, 2+4 all-wheel-drive
'Active Paper Transport' (APT) system. Colortrac has adopted
the dynamic normalisation application (DNA) used in its high-end
CCD colour scanners that, combined with the 48-bit data sampling,
improves the shadow and highlight details of images and provides
far better tone recognition. With high scan speeds, and other
detail product enhancements, the SmartLF Cx 40 is pushing
the top of the wide format scanner features league, but retains
its affordable price tag.
New scanner floor stand accessory options for the SmartLF
Cx 40 include; a PC and Flat screen mounting kit to create
an integrated 'scan/copy station' that improves scanner mobility
and reduces the system footprint, a paper catch basket and
a 'Universal Repro Stand' (URS). The URS is height adjustable
allowing the scanner to be positioned above a large format
inkjet printer in a multi-function copy / scan / print system.
The SmartLF Cx 40m monochrome model starts at just $7,500
and the top of the range colour express model is less than
$10,000. Cx 40 provides a choice of 1 monochrome and 2 colour
models, all represent great performance and excellent value
for money. SmartLF Cx 40 wide format scanners start shipping
throughout Europe in January 2006, with roll-out to North
& South America and Asia planned for February and March.
Colortrac Managing Director Graham Tinn says, "SmartLF
Cx 40 is the first in a sequence of major new Colortrac large
format scanner product launches planned for the first half
of 2006. Cx 40 is a worthy successor to the tremendously successful
SmartLF 4080 scanners and is vital to our goal of expanding
the market for wide format scanner applications."
Colortrac announced in December 2005 the formation of a new
subsidiary manufacturing company in China, Colortrac Imaging
Systems (Suzhou) Ltd. The new company will produce the major
electro-mechanical assemblies of the SmartLF Cx 40 scanners
before final assembly and QC at its factory near Cambridge
UK.

 KUALA
LUMPUR: Syarikat E.J. Motiwalla launched a slew of survey,
land mapping, engineering and road-design solutions from Carlson
Software Inc of Maysville, Kentucky, into the local market
last week. Its managing partner, Abuli Huseini Motiwala, said
the products are targeted at government, civil engineering,
road construction, geographic information system, and land
survey sectors. The products are Carlson Survey 2006, Carlson
Field 2006, Carlson Roads 2006, Carlson SurvCADD 2006, Carson
SurvNET, Carlson SurvCADD GIS and Carlson SurvCE. “Survey
2006, Field 2006 and Roads 2006 come with a licensed AutoCAD
engine, while SurvCADD runs within AutoCAD,” said Carlson
Software Australia director, Michael Manning. That makes the
products fully compatible with AutoCAD 2006, 2005 and 2004
drawings and avoids cumbersome DXF transfers, he said. As
its name implies, Carlson Survey is a complete survey solution;
Carlson Field is a data collection tool within AutoCAD which
works with most brands of distance measurement and Global
Positioning System equipment. Carlson Roads combines the pipe,
sewer and road design capabilities from SurvCADD with the
AutoCAD engine and can read and write in LandXML file formats
for transfers of design data over the Internet. SurvCADD is
an engineering and surveying software for design, construction
and survey offices; SurvNET is a network least-squares program
which automatically works out the mean of all horizontal and
vertical angles including slope distances. SurvCADD GIS is
an office software for complex GIS projects while SurvCE is
a Windows CE-based data collection software for land survey
professionals using real-tile GPS and distance measuring terminals
like the Windows CE-based Carlson Explorer II handheld terminals
running SurvCE. Some of these solutions run on laptops, allowing
surveyors and engineers to design their maps and layouts in
the field and to submit them directly to clients over cellular
networks. For pricing and other information, call Motiwalla
