I hate the fact that it's almost impossible to find large format scanners and the few that I can find are so expensive I may as well take my artwork into the local office store for scanning as they've got the large scanners needed.

The big issue is I don't usually work on smaller paper although I have in my small sketch books. My preferred size sketchbook is legal sized (14x11) and even finding a legal sized flatbed scanner is almost impossible as all the others are sheet fed. Even my current flatbed can do legal but the paper has to be flexible enough to be sheet fed, otherwise the bed is only letter size. Yet the dang thing is actually legal size because of the sheet feeder, so why no simply give me the ability to use the entire bed?

I'm hoping to take enough artwork in for large scanner use that can then be placed onto either a Flash Drive or burned to CD if needed as I have no idea how high a resolution their scanners are capable of. Want 300 DPI in 32bit color and saved as BMP/Tiff format and I'll convert them to an appropriate size/format to put em in my folder.
