Yep...
It's time to go to this step and instead of plotting it on the waterjet cutter and taking hours I need it scanned...

I need something that couls scan 16x16"

Anyone care to help???

I know you love corperate america jake, but have you thought of Kinkos? I dont know if there are any local to you, but it would probably be cheaper and faster to just run to a local kinkos and have them scan them.

too bad you're not the in SF/Bay Area. We have a scanner at work that can take 36" wide paper, unlimited length...

I could ship it easily to anyone... Its just card board templates.

No Kinko's here, the only one I called only had a 10" anyway..

I have access to a scanner that is made to scan large scale plots, 36" wide. I can try to do this early next week if you like.

You should have a good sized surveyors office somewhere near you. They deal with large printouts. They just might have one or could tell you the nearest place that does.

Another avenue is a large const. company deals with large prints. I have dupes of my prints done at the local UPS office where they have a scanner for prints.

Or just a blueprint company. We sent tons of stuff out to get scanned.

Travis,
Thanks for the help... Can you PM the address of where to ship them???

I have two sets, one for a 914 and one for the 912 version I am finishing now.

THANKS!

i bought a $50 HP scanner that looks like a big picture frame, so you can lay it down over large things a section at a time. comes with software that lets you re-assemble the mosaic parts back together into one giant file.

for something like this you'd probably want to incorporate registration marks into the scan, but it shouldn't be horrible...

16x16 would be only four parts on an 8-1/5x11 scanner ...

just a thought - but you'd be ready for the next one.
lots of places have the scanner - Costco.com, Computergeeks.com, Staples ...
