RE: Scanning an illustration...

[Jack Phipps <JPhipps@xxxxxxx>]

Hello Caren!

I did a quick search and turned up this beauty:
http://www.contex.dk/scanners/magnum/magnumspecs.htm
It is a 50 inch wide scanner that takes images up to 0.6 inches thick.

There is a local commercial lab here in Austin that has one about 36 inches
wide. Check with people in your area that do large format printing (some do
bill board sized work). I saw one at a trade show that could accept images
up to three inches thick! But I can't remember the brand now.

Check around, you should be able to find something.

Anyone who has done an ad as a freelancer - I could use your help!
My client may use a royalty-free photo in which case would come to me
already 
scanned by the stock house (I assume.)
But now he is thinking of using an illustrator...
If the illustrator does an acrylic on canvas - how in the world do you scan 
that??  I can take it to a place - but what do I ask for? i assume it is not

a drum scan anymore..?
Sorry for my ignorance. I am an art director and never had to act like a 
print producer before now...

FYI - the scan has to work in an 8.5 x 11 print ad - but also blown up to a 
9ft x 9ft trade show banner...
I am on a Mac if that matters.

Please help!!
