They make a 36, 44 and a 48.

We like it ok, but it's gotten slow and buggy over the years, and we've had issues with the software in the past. We often have students and interns use this scanner, so ease of use is important, but we could also consider a large format overhead scanner. Any recommendations are welcome!
