Atiz BookDrive Pro or Book2Net RGB

[Sara Amato]

Since there seems to be general interest in the topic, I'll ask my questions here.   Keri/Carrie - here's what we would like to know:


Overall, are you satisfied with the quality of the scans, and are you seeing any particular issues, e.g. glare, difficulty positioning the material, speed of processing, resolution, etc.

A few specific questions we’d like addressed are:
    
Book Positioning - are you able to successfully scan tightly bound materials?  Is the book cradle sufficiently adjustable for a range of materials/bindings?  Do you feel the system is gentle enough on fragile materials?

Have you had any problems scanning the following types of materials: bound newspapers, loose photographs, letters (unbound)

Are you using the software included with the scanner to process images?  Is it sufficient to the task or do you use additional softare, e.g. photoshop?

Any information you can provide much appreciated. 

Thanks.
