Flatbed for scanning 11x14 prints.

[Sam N]

I want to scan a large number of tearsheets and older prints which are larger than 8.5x11. What's the best option out there for scanning these kinds of things?

It seems like the usual suspects (Epson Vx00, etc.) don't go large enough.

The Epson Expression 10000XL is used by a darkroom/lab I frequent for exactly this purpose, and I can attest to its excellence. You can make a ~100mb scan in around 15 seconds, which captures almost perfectly the colour and tonal range of the print. As to whether they can be obtained at a sensible price, I have no idea however.
