Hi,
A client of mine is considering bringing their scanning more in-house and buying a decent scanner.
They will mostly be scanning negs up to about 6x7 format, also transparencies up to about 6x7 format. Being able to scan flat artwork would be a good bonus.
The scans will be used for brochures, press ads and anything up to adshell posters.
The scanner must be able to be fully calibrated and fit in to a colour-managed flow.
What should they buy with a budget of 10,000 UKP ? It would have to be new, not used.
Simon,
If they are looking for a workhorse, and one machine to do transparencies and flat artwork and they have a large throughput, then take a look at the A3 Quattro from FujiFilm. I have no idea of price, but Fuji are at Bedford, and should be able to supply full details.
To get hold of a PDF 2-page leaflet:
<http://www.fujifilm.com/JSP/fuji/epartners/ ServiceSupportProductContent.jsp? dbid=671016&prodcat=238746&sscucatid=664272>
Otherwise Imacon or ICG: <http://www.dcs-imago.com/> ScanXact is the software used by the ICG, it is well respected and is UK developed.
Hope that helps.
