Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) for contact prints

Marco Buonocore · Sep 17, 2017

Does anyone know if there is an ADF that can handle 8x10 RC paper? I have boxes of contact sheets I'd like to scan, and there's no way I'm doing it manually.

It's mostly Ilford Multigrade RC, which is 190g/m2 in weight - maybe 3/32" in thickness.

This one might be a good candidate, it can handle up to 56 pound (209 g/m2) paper.

In general, you will want a scanner with a feeder that uses a "straight-through" sort of paper path, not one that turns the paper in a tight U.

Oh that's great - that looks like the ticket. The "straight-through" is definitely the way to go. I see quite a few on my local kijiji, so it seems like the sort of thing you can pick up used.

Thanks for the good advice!
