We have a Contex HD 5450 and have been using it for almost six years without any problems.  And the software is very easy to use.

Hi Theresa,

We have had good experiences with the WideTEK brand. They make a 36, 44 and a 48. These are all feed-through.

We’re getting ready to upgrade our map scanner… does anyone have one that they really like? Our current scanner is now about 5 years old and it’s a Colortrac SmartLF Gx T56. 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! Thanks!
