[Ql-Users] A3 scanner

2012-09-12 Thread Dilwyn Jones
I don’t suppose anyone on this list has a second-hand A3 scanner they’d like to 
sell?

I need to scan some documents (with photos) of roughly A3 size and stitching 
2xA4 scans together doesn’t really work – the ‘stitching’ looks awful when the 
two halves are joined after scanning.

I know A3 scanners can be bought for about £200 on the internet, but the job 
isn’t really big enough to justify buying a brand new scanner, so I thought I 
might as well offer to buy second hand off a QLer first. It will be used with a 
Windows 7 PC (the scanner, not the QLer).

My local 'STAPLES' offers a discrete scanning service.

have you thought of photographing the documents with a high resolution camera?

My local coop allow A3/A4 scanning and copying, Boots may also offer something

I might try the photography, if I can rig up a tripod, stand and suitable 
wider backing (and find time to set it all up - time's been quite scarce 
lately!).


Thanks for the suggestion.
