Teehee. It takes a really exciting story to get email about it from Todd Bertrang. Sara — saram AT wam.umd.edu, RANA-83 http://iam.bmezine.com/?saram [make my address kosher to reply] Vote for my ink! http://www.tattooz.net/contest.cfm

You could always take a picture of it with a digital camera. Sometimes it turns out as good as a scanner (and sometimes not). — WyrdWoman http://www.wyrdwoman.com/

No, mine has only 10" x 12" (250 x 300 mm–it’s Japanese) live area on the drum. We do need a larger one, though; drum scanners have a "batch" mode where you mount a lot of slides, do the setup process for all of them, then click "run" and go away for a couple of hours. (We also get things that just won’t fit on the drum by themselves–11×14 photos and other such images.) When you can get only twelve slides on the drum at once, it kinda defeats the purpose of batch-mode scanning. When you can get fifty or sixty, you’re in the ballpark. The problem with big scanners isn’t price, it’s physical size. The scanners we’re looking at–Hell 3800s, Crosfield 636s, Dainippon Screen SG-777s–are all at least ten feet long. We could get it in the building through the loading dock, but we don’t have anywhere to set it up. — –jmowreader http://www.macsalon.org Unsubscribing Instructions: http://www.macsalon.org/howtos/unsub.html
