Dear Remko, Depending upon what your budget is and how high a scanner you can afford for your purposes, the Epson 10000 XL scanner is a good one. There are higher end scanners but they can run you anywhere up to $20,000 or more. The Epson 10000 is around $3000.

The final product needs to be of archival quality, where we "never" have to touch the original again :-) What is your experience with larger flatbed, tabletop scanners? Which one is the largest that performs well (i.e. maximum read area of 11 x 17 or more)? Any recommendations? Thank you!
