If your requirements are to scan A3 documents and artwork and image quality is important to you, then this is the scanner to go for.
The wide depth of field capability of this CCD scanner results in a quality, focused image.
This scanner allows the scanning of a document or artwork with an uneven surface such as buckling of a watercolour or collage artwork or the ripples and creases in an old folded drawing.
Yes, you can buy a cheaper A4 CCD scanner and “stitch” the image files together in your favourite image editor to make and A3 image, but this takes more time and the results will not be as consistent for professional use.
With this scanner I can now produce professional print ready quality images to send straight to publishers, clients and print shops.
