[Web4lib] Production Scanner Recommendations...

[Erin Kinney]

Hello,

We're using a Canon DR-7080C which has an 11 x 17" flat bed and an ADF, that also duplexes up to 11" x 17" paper.  It's been great for digitizing modern planning documents that have large architectural drawings in them.  The top is a bit heavy, but not too bad.  We've done some old hand typed books, and it wasn't great for that, but it's better than photocopying 800+ pages on our Book Binder Minder photocopier.  The whole scanner itself weighs about 75 lbs, and we paid about $6000 for it about four years ago.

Hi,

We have a large digitization project just beginning, and are looking for 
recommendations for hardware.  We're looking for a production scanner 
that will accommodate both hand-pressed to a flatbed and has an ADF. 
Any experience or recommendations?  Any hardware you wish you avoided?

Thanks!
