I'm hoping some of you tech savvy people here will have any info on a auto-loading photo/film scanner.

 

I just scanned 150 photos on a flatbed scanner and it took.... 6 hours :mad My friend and I recently started a business converting photographs, film and VCR tapes to digital. If its gonna take me 897459273409857 hours to do 2k photos (which is the standard package) I need to pick a new career

reducing the dpi and the size of the portion of the bed you're scanning would help the speed quite a bit

I have the dpi at 72, anything lower and it looks like garbage. I did discover i can scan 4 photos at once thought. That should speed things up quite a bit.

I was just gonna suggest that, also multiple scanners can do the job as well.

Thanks I'll give that a shot.

 

I've also been looking at the kodak s1220. It autofeeds up to 30 photos a minute @ 300 dpi. The only downside is the price, but i think i can get one on ebay.

yeah that kodak s1220 is high in price cheapest i seen it on ebay was $999 wow lol

Yeah its way pricey, But i have probably 10000 photos in my room from customers, and i need them done quick. And if I dont end up using it alot I can always re-sell it.
