To All IMAGELIB:I saw an Agfa Horizon Ultra at the University of Chicago's Library Preservation department. I believe it specs at 11" x 17"; 1000 x 2000 dpi and has a special transparencies drawer. I thought I had found our scanner for the University of PA Archives and Records Center.
A vendor looked into this and told me the Horizon line has been discontinued. It has been replaced by the "Duo" line. This new line of (much less expensive) scanners have the transparencies drawer and do 1000 x 2000? dpi, however the maximum document size is 8.5" x 14". Not big enough for our purposes.
Does anyone have information regarding the Agfa Horizon line? Comparable scanners? Recommendations?
Thank you in advance, Donald
