Why purchase a large format scanner?

1 October 2004

This may be the best time ever to purchase a large format scanner. The technology has come of age and then some!
Large format scanners are accurate, they are reliable and they have been around long enough that there is plenty of information to help users select the best model to suit their requirements and budget.
A simple Web search for example on 'large format scanners' will turn up pages of information and companies offering different products. Your job will be to search through the hype and figure out which scanner is the right one for you and who best to buy it from. It is important to realise that even when you are looking at identical scanner models, there can be deal-breaking differences. And it is not always about price!
Make sure you find out things like what support is offered, that stock and spares are available in South Africa and what support contract options are available. Have a look at reference sites and where the products are being successfully used, what scanning backup options are available should the scanner be down.
While scanners are incredibly reliable, things can still go wrong and you want to know that a reliable company provides solid knowledgeable support and has the experience to deal with the problems.
Happy scanning.
