Title: scanners for oversized materials
Hi Jessica,
We have an Epson _expression_ 836xl flatbed scanner. It's a higher end scanner and it does come with a transparency adapter at an extra cost. The scanner bed size is 12.2 x 17.2  and handles oversized materials and can also scan objects, textiles etc. very well. The dpi is 800 x 1600 - 36 bit colour. Highly recommended.

Subject: scanners for oversized materials

Colleagues,

The Research Center at Henry Ford Museum & Greenfield Village is considering the purchase of a new scanner with the capability to handle larger format materials (we have a number of 8-1/2 x11 flatbed scanners with transparency adapters).  Our biggest concern is the ability to scan oversized negatives and transparencies (at least up to 8x10), a capability we simply do not have at the moment.  However, we would be most interested in having a flexible scanner that can also handle other oversized materials.  If any of you are currently using equipment with these capabilities or researching their purchase I would appreciate any feedback on products.  We have gotten some good information on Microtek products that seem like they would fit many of our needs.  If anyone has specific feedback on that brand it would also be much appreciated.

Thank you!
Jessica Lehr
