A6 or A5 sized colour scanner
 

Good afternoon,

Wonder if anyone can recommend a small A6 or A5 flatbed scanner.

We've got a system at work where passport sized photos are either scanned in or taken using a webcam.

We have a couple of these OptiCard scanners http://www.plustek.de/uk/product/card820.php
but they're just not up to handling the volume of photos being scanned, and forever need cleaning and keep stopping for no apparent reason.
We've had them replaced under guarantee a couple of times now, but we need something more reliable.

Currently there have been nearly 9000 photos scanned (not sure how many were on the webcam) but this is an on-going project and many thousands more photos will be scanned.

Can anyone recommend either a similar type scanner, or an A6 or A5 flatbed scanner, will be used to scan in passport sized photos. Has to be colour and must be TWAIN compliant.

I would prefer to go for flatbed scanners after our experience with these small "pull the paper through" scanners.

Cheers,
Mike

Hp have done one with I have (1200 photosmart)

It is USB or Battery powered, when in battery mode you can save to a SD card.

Hi Hom3rm thanks for that, looks like it would be good, but it doesn't look like it's available any more, and can't see a similar product on HP website.

Also not sure if it has a TWAIN driver as can find posts on the internet from people asking if there is one available.

I've found this Fujitsu one:

Just depends if they're willing to spend that much!
