We are also interested in what people
think of these two machines, as we are also looking into purchasing, so would
be interested to see responses, too.
I have seen demos at shows, but am also interested
in visiting local libraries which have either of these in service. If there is
anyone in the
Many thanks,

Subject: [SERIALST] microform
digital scanners
We are looking at two microform scanners for a project
involving the digitization of our campus paper’s archive. One is the ScanPro
2000 by e-ImageData Corp. http://www.e-imagedata.com/. The other is the ST Imaging
Inc’s ST200x http://www.stimaging.com/.
Has anyone bought and used either of these two machines or
their predecessors? Is there anything you can tell me about either or both
machines, the companies that stand behind the machines, the dealers in TX, or
anything else you think might be helpful in making a purchasing decision?
I am particularly interested in whether either of these
machines is more compatible than the other as is relates to Optical Character
Recognition. Will the machine you know about auto advance correctly and
consistently and then save the image appropriately? How well will the given
machine hold up in a public service arena? Have you had need of a service on
the machine and have you been able to reach the service center for satisfactory
results?
If you are more comfortable contacting me off list please
do so.
Thanks
