>Kat Neilson <[log in to unmask]>    Hello,
>
>Our institution is partnering with a local company and we 
>are interested in purchasing a large scanner.  We'd like one that 
>could scan documents up to 45" wide.  Does a scanner this big exist? 
>And do any of you have any recommendations? I believe that usually 
>these scanners use rollers and you must feed the documents through, 
>which makes them unsuitable for old or fragile documents, but we 
>feel we still have a need for this type of scanner. We are also 
>looking for a smaller scanner which will be able to do smaller, more 
>fragile documents, books/printed materials, photographs, slides, 
>etc.  Has anyone found their dream scanner and would like to share?
>
>Thanks,
