My museum will soon be starting an ambitious project of scanning in-house a
collection of over 4,000 8x10 glass-plate, nitrate and safety negatives.
I'm at the point where I'm researching scanners.  We're planning on scanning
at 600-800dpi. These scans will be used for research, exhibitions,
publications, etc. so the images need to be high quality. I've narrowed my
choice to two scanners, the UMAX 2100XL and the Heidelberg LinoScan 1400.
Has anyone had any experience with these models? I would love to hear how
they worked for your museum, any problems, what you loved/hated about them,
were they easy to use/learn?  Anything would be appreciated to in order to
make an informed decision.

Thank you in advance,
Michelle Gallagher, Collections Manager
