SUBSIM Radio Room Forums - View Single Post - [Advice please] Transparency adaptors for Flatbed Scanners

TarJak · 01-05-08, 07:01 PM

I've got a little project going that will involve copious amounts of scanning of colour and B+W transparancies so they can be digitised and properly catalogued before final production.

When I say copious amounts there are over 1000 slides that need to be scanned and therefore the individual lightbox style adapter will not provide what I want. I'd like to do between 12 and 24 slides per scan for both individual and contact sheet scans

I've got a flatbed scanner that is capable of up to 2400dpi so the quality is not really an issue other than the way that they are scanned. I'm looking for advice on a good quality transparency adapter that will let me scan multiple images at once and still allow me to do reasonable sized (4"x5" minimum), scans of the slides.
