Greetings,

Anyone know of a good PC (Windows) based handheld scanner? I know they used
to make them before the flatbeds but I need to make scans of some images
that I can't place on a flatbed without destroying the collectors value of
the item.

I'm having hard time finding anything. Also, those I do find are in the 4"
range, are there any 6-12" range scanners?


Thanks,
Shawn

If you do want a hand scanner, I have a logitech color that I will be happy
to send you for the price of shipping.

Try here. Also search Ebay.

There are book scanners. Search Google for "book scanner". (Lots of money!)

Check out this device. I have not found one of these for sale in the USA.

Take film or digital photos of the flatwork. Two lights at 45 degrees
or so to the artwork on each side. If you used tungsten lights use T
film or the Tungsten setting on your camera.

Mike,

I sent an email with my address a while ago but I'm not sure if you received
it...?


Thanks,
Shawn
