Large Format Scanner

Most people who own a scanner have a traditional model for scanning standard size documents. But if you need to scan legal or larger-sized documents or objects, you will want to invest in a large format scanner.

A large format scanner can go by a few different titles: A3 scanner, tabloid scanner, ledger scanner, wide format scanner or 11x17 scanner. These types of scanners can generally scan an item of up to about 11 x 17 inches.

The selection of large flatbed scanners is a bit limited, but there are both high and low cost options. Before buying, think about whether you need high-quality photo scans or minimal resolution.

Here we have highlighted some of the top large scanners.
