Which Colortrac Software do you need?

If you're using a SmartLF SCi or SGi scanner and want more control over your images, SmartWorks Imaging is a great place to start.

Alternatively, if your scanner already does everything you need but you want to scan wider documents or work in colour, a compatible software upgrade could be the better option.

Colortrac SmartWorks Imaging

Designed specifically for the Colortrac SmartLF SCi and SGi range, Colortrac SmartWorks Imaging delivers a faster, more intuitive user experience.

It has an easy-to-use interface and a redesigned preset control panel, making it perfect for quickly scanning large-format documents, including engineering drawings, architectural plans, and high-resolution posters.

Rather than having to rescan documents whenever something doesn't look quite right, you can preview your scans and make adjustments before saving them with the new thumbnail pop-out view.

Some of its most useful features include:

• Image editing: Adjust brightness, contrast and sharpness, straighten crooked scans and remove unwanted marks.
• Custom presets: Save your preferred scanning settings for different document types.
• Multi-page management: Preview and organise multiple scans before saving them as PDF or TIFF files.
• Scan and copy: Create digital files or produce copies using a compatible large-format printer.

Colortrac scanner software is especially useful for detailed line work or colour-sensitive graphics. You can also control compatible scanning workflows using the SmartWorks Imaging Link tablet app.

What about Colortrac SmartWorks Pro?

SmartWorks Pro is the older generation of Colortrac scanner software, offering scanning, copying, and image-editing tools.

It was available in different editions, including Scan, Copier, and Scan & Copy, allowing businesses to choose the features they needed.

While existing users can still access compatible legacy software updates, SmartWorks Imaging is now the better option for those looking to upgrade their scanning workflow today.

Colortrac SmartLF SGi 36 to 44 software upgrade

If you need to scan wider drawings than your current scanner setup allows, the Colortrac SGi 36 to 44 upgrade lets you increase the maximum scanning width of a compatible SmartLF SGi scanner from 36 to 44 inches.

Better still, you can activate it remotely with a software licence, so you don't need to replace your scanner or arrange an engineer visit.

The Colortrac SGi upgrade is available for SGi 36m, 36c, and 36e models, making it a great option for businesses taking on larger scanning jobs.

Colortrac SCi and SGi colour software upgrades

If you’re using a monochrome SmartLF SCi or SGi scanner but need to scan in full colour, Colortrac offers software upgrades that unlock the hardware's built-in colour capabilities.

No replacements needed. With two tiers, C and E, it’s a cost-effective way to upgrade your scanner features without buying a new model.

• The C upgrade (colour): Full colour scanning at the standard high-speed setting for detailed drawings, posters, and documents.
• The E upgrade (express): Provides the fastest scanning speeds available for both colour and monochrome scans. It’s ideal for users with heavy workloads who need speed and accurate detail.
