Do they make over-size scanners?
« on: September 14, 2006, 11:41:16 PM »
I've got a standard printer/scanner combo from HP that works great except I need a larger scanner area.  The standard seems to be 8.5 x 12.  I've been scanning 10 x 14 magazine pages and have to scan two halves then cut and paste them together in a photo editor to get the full image.

I've checked online and so far haven't found any larger scanners.  There are plenty of business/industrial type models available for huge $$$.  Does anybody make a regular large size scanner for home use that's reasonably priced?  I would think there'd be a demand for such a product.

Thanks.

Put "A3 scanner" in Google, and start reading.

Thanks!  17 x 11.5 would work just fine!  Funny I never ran across that during my earlier searches...
