FLAAR Reports on Scanners

	FAQ's on flatbed scanners and on 35mm slide scanners Thousands of people have sent in their questions. FLAAR has analyzed the most typical questions and then written a succinct report discussing which scanners are best for each specific individual need. This report is part of the FLAAR Premium Reports on Photo Queality
	Scanning Medium Format and Large Format (4x5) Negs and Chromes The course DP 201 helps pros and pro-sumers learn how to handle their legacy 6x6 cm (two and a quarter inch) Hasselblad and Rollei negatives and transparencies. If you have 4x5, 5x7, or like us also 8x10 chromes, this learning unit will help in many ways. As you expect from a FLAAR Report, this is based on actual experience by the FLAAR staff in scanning the thousands of slides and negatives from 30 years of traditional photography.

	Scanners for Digitizing Fine Art (Giclee) FLAAR works with artists and photographers to scan their work so it can be produced as giclee fine art prints. We have distilled our years of experience with several different kinds of scanners into this learning unit. This report is part of the FLAAR Premium Reports on Fine Art
	Details on using a Reprographic Scanner for Fine Art Giclee: Operator’s Manual for the Cruse Scanner/Digital Camera System. This is the FLAAR update and revision of the operator’s manual for this $97,000 reprographic system in the FLAAR facilities at Bowling Green State University. The Cruse system is the Rolls Royce for digitizing your fine art paintings in order to reproduce them subsequently as a giclée print. This camera is designed and built as you would expect for a German engineering company (Cruse GmbH). This report is part of the FLAAR Premium Reports on Fine Art
	Wide format scanners This size and shape of sheet-fed scanners are for maps, engineering and architectural drawings, sketches, art, and anything you can feed into the scanner. These wide format sheet-fed scanners can even take material on foamcore, poster board, or other thick material. This FLAAR Report by Nicholas Hellmuth is based on his 5 years checking out scanners at trade shows and in-house testing of the 42-inch HP DesignJet 4200 wide format scanner (see below). This report is part of the FLAAR Premium Reports on CAD
	HP 4200: Evaluation of a Wide Format Scanner The previous report is a general survey; the present report is specifically on the HP DesignJet 4200. Since this class of scanner is comparable to Contex, Vidar, ACTion, and other brands, this evaluation can serve to cover the generic range of wide-format sheet-fed scanners.
