[MCN-L] scanner recommendations?

Hi, Does anyone have a wide-format (at least 11x17") scanner that you like and could recommend? We need something that can do slides & transparencies too, and hope to keep it under $2000, but would love to be able to scan something at a quality high enough we could give it to printers. Thanks

Hello Sara Hands down the Epson 1XL Pro is the way to go. We have a Microtek 9800XL which we used when required but recently bought the Epson 1XL Pro and the comparison in quality and speed and quality and is definitely worth the cost difference between the two unless you only have a few

We've got two Microtek ScanMakers, an older 9600XL and a 9800XL. Both have worked great for us over the years. More than high quality enough to give to printers, and can do transparencies/negatives. Has the capability to do slides, but I can't speak to that as we have a Nikon Coolscan V for thos

I'd have to support the Epson line too. We have a much older Linocolor Circon which is fabulous, running Silverfast. Epson is one of the few still seriously in the game for a manageable cost. If you spend the extra I think you'd be set for a long time to come. Mark Paradis Chief, Multimedia

We just bought a Pacific Image PS3650 from B&H for $700. It works really well. A little slow though (USB), but produces files that can printed at 1/2 page I bet. JEFF Jeffrey Evans Photographer, Digital Imaging Specialist Princeton University Art Museum jfevans at princeton.edu 609.258.857

I agree when it comes to slides. We can just eek out a publication quality scan from a slide on the 1xl, but a dedicated slide scanner like the Nikon is better and easier to use. For just about everything else that can go on a flatbed, the Epson works very well. Denise Gos? Head of Image Re

Hi all, We have XG and we have found that by creating fields that say "physical description" and another called "contextual description" has reduced a lot of the problems we were having with people getting to their "happy place" when it came to who can write what on an object record (and who ca

[MCN-L] Database access for curators?

It had also occurred to me that our experiences differ. The ROM has a healthy research staff, and the curators comprise natural scientists, archaeologists, and anthropologists, who tend to be a lot more computer and database aware than our decorative arts people, so suggesting that anyone else i

We love our Epson 1XL scanners - but you'll pay close to $3000 for the version with Silverfast software and transparency unit, which is what you'll need. The price has dropped this year from over $4000, so it's a good deal. Not sure what else is out there for large format scanners. Denise G
