Title: Looking For A Larger Scanner
Post by: WhiteFox on February 12, 2011, 01:01:23 AM
All of the scanners I've seen in stores and online catalogs are about the same size: 8.5x14 inches. I'm looking for a model that's larger, preferably around 12 to 14 inches wide, and 17 to 20 inches long. If it costs under five or six hundred dollars, even better.

Anyone know of such a thing?

There are a few relatively inexpensive flatbed scanners for A3/B (11x17) formats. I think Mustek (http://www.mustek.com.tw/html/SBD.html) has the cheapest A3 models.

Any larger than that, and you're looking at large format technical scanners that will usually set you back at least $10k (although some of the entry level ones are only $4k or so).

That would work, and not a bad price. Many thanks, Tez.
