Topic: A3 scanner.

	albert oh well, la di da Member since Aug 2013 1345 Points	Looking at that machine gave me an idea for a DIY equivalent, which should only cost a few quid. - In my kitchen there are overhead cupboards with a bench below, it therefore wouldn't take much effort to attach a bracket on the underside of the cupboard to hold a camera or mobile phone, lighting could be attached too. ...this is going to be sooo easy. A mobile phone cover only costs a few quid, take out the holding clip and attach to underside of cupboard with glue, lay down some tape markers on the bench and take a few shots, adjust markers as necessary. Job done! Regarding Epson A3 scanners: The cheaper models such as the GT-15000 can scan an area 297 x 432 mm. The more expensive models such as the 12000XL can scan an area 310 x 437 mm (12.2 x 17.2 inches) which captures the bulk of most LP sleeves in one sweep - trouble is that expensive means over £2000. The one I grabbed was a cheaper model, it did look identical to the more costly ones so I took a change but unfortunately the scanning area has been limited to be exactly A3. It looks like Epson just switch the processing board (and maybe the optics) on their cheaper models, be careful when buying. Edited by albert on 10th Mar 2021, 12:42 AM
