Let's talk about scanner options for our artwork
Does anyone here have any recommendations on a scanner?
Preferably a flatbed and one that can scan A3 sized items.
Most of the ones i've seen are really expensive or they are massive workstations, of which I don't have the room for.

I've used a couple of flatbed scanners, but they always seemed hinky and wouldn't work right half the time. I've had this Brother MFC-J6720 DW (printer/scanner) for a few years now and it works flawlessly.

When I was looking a year ago, it seemed like they really didn't make 11x17 flatbed scanners anymore.
I ended up buying a 50+ pound workstation monstrosity just to scan my commissions.
I bought an Epson - WorkForce WF-7620 on sale for $199.99 around black friday. It's huge and heavy but its the only thing I could find with an 11x17 scan bed.
Best of luck to you

That doesn't sound unreasonable price-wise, just heavy

Seriously! I'd love to get a Workforce, but man, my 2000 sq foot house is not nearly big enough to house something like that.
