    Search for A3+ oversized flatbed scanner 13" wide?

    Hi all,
    I have been told that some of you knowledgeable people may be able to help with some advice. I am in need of a scanner to scan LP covers which are 13x13" Does anyone know of a flatbed A3+ oversized scanner that will stretch to 13" wide? I'm finding it difficult to locate one here in the UK. I can't afford an A2 scanner. I already have a Mustek but it's only 11.7" wide.
    I hope someone can point me in the right direction at least, as I have googled myself silly all day.
    All the best & happy new 2012,
    Jay

    I think the Aztek plateu can do up to 14x18, however, its no longer a current product. There are a few used ones out there though, like here(I have no affiliation with them btw)

    towards the bottom of the listings on this page:

    Why not set up a copy stand and photograph the covers? I'd think that you could do this for well under the cost of a scanner...

    The Fuji 2750, 5000, c550 and Lanovia Quattro are 13x18 inches. They're not in production and little to no service. Very large and about 150 pounds. Very fine machines.

    Hi, Do you mean £150 in weight?
