Can anyone recommend a high quality scanner that can scan 11 x 17' pages? I'm working on a comic and the scanner I used is really low quality and the finished piece is pixelated when you zoom in. Also, what dpi should I be lookin for?

Anything from 300 to 1200

>mfw i got my workplaces scanner printer copier out of the trash and it works perfectly with high quality scan and stuff. fo free...

its a canon pixma mx 472 its around 150 bucks or something. its not that big though. so your comic paper may not fit it depending on what size it is. but it does work nicely and i can fit my b4 into it just about right and i can double scan it if it cuts something off and fix it.

oh just re read the post , i dont think it will fit 11x17 though. works well on smaller pages though. but you could double scan it then put it back together.

Check out the scanner(s) listed on jake parkers blog. http://mrjakeparker.com/tools

There are a couple programs out there (many included with your scanner) that allow you to stitch an image back together if you have to scan it in in parts. I have an epson perfection v370 and it's pretty decent once you figure out the software presets a bit. Basically put it in photo mode for any intricate work as illustration mode will omit certain light lines thinking they're the rough sketch lines or whiteout.

I have a Brother J6720DW A3 scanner/printer and it's the tits. Will set you back 300 quid or thereabouts, mind

Oh and it scans up to 1200 x 2400 dpi

Get the epson v600.

you can't fit an entire 11x17 board on it, but assuming you have photoshop you can easily scan your comics by halves and then photomerge them

$2500 scanner? Waaaaaat

The only pro-quality A3+ scanners you'll find are going to be in that price range. Even a shitty Mustek is going to be relatively expensive. Your best bet on a budget is a multifunction printer like >>2679084

Shut up and buy it and give me my Amazon referral money. Make sure to buy two Cintiqs and two Apple machines while you're there. Good goy.

Sincerely,

Just draw smaller. It's faster, you'll use less art supplies, and a smaller scanner will be cheaper. No -real- reason to draw "big"
