Can anyone give advice as to which are the best scanners for scanning in programme covers/pages? Looking to make a start on cataloging my collection over the next couple of weeks.
Thanks in advance,
Steve |

Any A4 sized scanner these days will be more than adequate for the job, personally I have an HP printer/scanner that also can copy documents, and you can also hook up cameras directly to it to download pics, was less than £150. _________________ https://www.flickr.com/photos/footballprogrammes/albums |

Steve, I'd suggest that most scanners would suffice, I use an HP all in one (printer / scan / fax) that I paid about £50 for a couple of years ago (almost as expensive as the two ink cartridges that came with it cost to replace!). Far more important in my mind is the software. I've had several scanners previously whos software didn't support multiple scanning. I can't vouch for any other combination, but I currently scan using the HP scanning software from IrfanView, which supports the TWAIN connection most modern scanners use. _________________ Newest programme wanted:

Steve i can see your original post is a few weeks old. I don't know how far you've got but speaking from experience the faster the scanner the better and consequently more expensive.
I've scanned my post war Sheff Wed collection (some 3800 programmes). I started by using an relatively old epson and then upgraded to Canoscan 8800f. It slashed the time per scan quite dramatically. Software provided allows multiple scans and is very easy to use
What do you intend doing with the scans? If you are thinking of printing them I'd recommend Photoslate. It costs a few quid but allows you to design the layout of a page and then automatically drop the scans onto the page and it does the rest. Its far easier than creating a matrix in word since I think you'd have to place the individual files onto the page.
Also consider the resolution since this will affect scan speeds. I'm no expert but people suggest 96dpi for webpages but I scanned mine in 300 dpi which is slower but gives more flexibility if you need to print bigger images.
If you ever get to Hillsboro pop into Richard Letts programme shop on Leppings Lane and have a look at the Anoraks Guide to Wednesday programmes. This is the book of some 310 pages showing all but 7 programmes from Wednesday games from 45/46 to 09/10.

Thanks to everyone for the replies. I haven't decided exactly what I want to do with the scans yet but a possibility is for a Derby programme website as there are many fine examples of other club programme websites designed by members of this forum.
A fast scanner that can handle multiple scans is probably what I'll be going for as my collection is getting larger by the week. I'll update on which one I get as and when I save enough money! |
