    <pre> Dear Charles,

    I saw and spoke to the owner of Jumbo Scan at Photokina in Colon 2 years ago. He need has an intriguing device but at that time had only one customer in Isreal. He was also reluctant to warranty the product in the U.S. You may want to get on to www.academicimaging.com and look up Metis DMC 1015. This a an entire system of specialized equipment, optics, lighting and easel, goes well beyond what Jumbo was offering. To date, there have been ano installs in the U.S., but about 4 units are installed in Italian museums and institutions and 3 in Japan. The Metis can produce up to 4.3 GB files in TIFF format in a single scan without interpolation. Metis is based in Rome and has made a full commitment to support and warrant their aproduict in the U.S.

    Academic Imaging Associates is their authorized North American representative, and we have a sample CDs and literature we can send you. Please feel free to contact me at your convenience.

    Is anyone familiar with Jumbo Scan, a 12,000 pixel planetary scanner produced by Lumiere Technology, a French firm. I would appreciate hearing from anyone that has some knowledge of this scanner. The business has a Web site - www.jumboscan.com .The unit looks intriguing, but I can't find anyone who has used it for scanning work.
