Wide format scanner web site for lab Cad users

Softcover has launched a new website to provide Cad users with comparison charts, news, views and advice on large format scanners for Cad use, specifically scanning technical drawings for archiving, copying and printing and or raster to vector conversion.

This is the best and worst of times for laboratory Cad users to buy a large format scanner, says the company.

The three main manufacturers, Colortrac, Contex and Graphtec, are battling it out to maintain or increase their share of the entry-level large format scanner market.

Prices have never been so low.

Performance has never been so high.

Unfortunately, confusing misinformation on the subject of large format scanners is widespread.

The question the site tries to answer is "what's the best scanner for Cad?".

With so much improved performance to choose from where do Cad scanning requirements end and reprographics needs start? A free wide format scanner comparison chart listing 31 different models suitable for Cad work from Colortrac, Contex and Graphtec is available from Softcover via the site.
