So normally I scan with a Fujitsu IX500....

And while I like it, and it has been the best scanner I have used in the last 15 years, recently this guy has been pissing me off. Oh it will scan a magazine in no time, but then @E-Day hits me up the next day and gives me a list of like 10, 20, 30 pages to rescan with it. So I put it thru a second time, and maybe this time I do it upside down or backwards, always a random dust line somewhere to piss me off.

I work in IT, my job has a ton of scanners. So I am test driving the same scanner @E-Day uses, which is the Fujitsu fi-7160

I just reran all 12 issues of GamePro that I ran thru the IX500 the other day, @E-Day is checking them out. If this guy works better for me, and I can start really plowing thru magazines, this might be a game changer. I wont be able to keep this guy for long, but for right now I am testing with it. If this model gives me less stress, I may be able to get a few hundred....yes hundred.....magazines out of my storage unit and processed thru this.

I wish I could test drive this one. Which is the fi-7460, and would do large format magazines as well. But the IX500 was a $400 scanner, the fi-7160 is a $850 scanner, and the fi-7640 is a $2400 scanner.

Fingers crossed that the fi-7160 lets me get thru some of the backlog I have acquired and we can start completing out some of the other sections around this site.

Anyways just an FYI :)
