13x44"?? I don't think so. 16x20" or A3+ maybe. Even on a roll I don't
think
it's 13" wide is it??

Anyway, I'm diverting from the topic. I've got the SS4000 and the
Japanese
equivalent of Epson 1270. Results are stunning but it sure takes quite a
bit of time and resources to scan/Photoshop 1 photo. I'm still a novice
at
it will seriously start to consider a dedicated Mac G4's to do the job
as
PC's are simply not cut for this sort of work. FYI, a single 12 bit 4000
dpi
scan can be as big as 120-140MB. To process that in Photoshop, you'd
need
at least 512MB RAM for a file that size.

Then there's colour management issues too.
