Tango-Primescans do have wheels in the base and should come a wheel kit that will bolt on the back of the scanner for moving on level ground. Going up and down stairs would be a different story....

Dan,

Forgive me, but I don't recall the scans I did for you. When you get a chance, why don't you contact me. If you could refresh my memory, I'd discuss with you how they were scanned.

Doug,

Would you please confirm that the cropped samples are from their respective scanners? If you layer both files on top of another in Photoshop, I think you'll find they line up pixel for...
