Subject: large flatbed scanner - advice
Hi there,
I'm looking into getting a new scanner for our service. It is for scanning both images and documents to create archival quality digital surrogates. We are looking for something bigger than A3 as many of our collection items are bigger than this.
I know that most people are turning to DSLRs with copy stand instead of flatbed, but I’ve been asked to look into a flatbed solution. I wondered if anyone has any advice on a good large scale flatbed scanner?
Cheers,
Alex
