Gnat the Beggar wrote:Yes.I can scan large sized maps, or drawings/prints/some paintings, even photos.Up to 44" wide by .... well any length.I once scanned a map that was 64 inches wide by 7-1/2 feet long.I had to fold it twice though (Once for scanning and another time for the overlap) and I would NOT recommend that for most older maps.This one was drawn on cloth though and could take that type of handling and the owner of that map specifically requested we do so.I can print large size sheets too; 44" wide and up to 250 feet long (that is how long a new roll or paper is).That does not mean I know much about stuff though, just that I have access to a large scale Scanner/Plotter/Printer...
