Portable Wand Scanner For Art And Creativity

[@YassDesignStudio]

Thank you for this video am an artist and my space is limited at the moment and I wanted something small and portable I can use at home and travel with to scan my art or doodles. And your review helped me decide.

@@YassDesignStudio You’re welcome. I am glad it was helpful. It is a very different kind of scanner with lots of possibilities. I think it will be great for traveling. Just be sure to try a scan at a steady speed and use the marks on the side to keep it moving straight.

Very cool. Looks like a lot of fun.

[@CharestStudios]

Thanks, Aron! It is! I keep thinking of new things I can scan. I was thinking I could scan some graffiti walls with it and other cool things while I am out. I like that the scans will all be right on the card.

Hello, how does this deal with scanning sketches and pencil? Thanks.

[@blessificator]

that's cool

[@CharestStudios]

Thanks!

This was a great vid! Loved the final results!

[@CharestStudios]

Thanks! I have been wanting to take this out and try scanning some graffiti as well as some nature scans. It opens up a lot of possibilities for sure.

@@CharestStudios Hi. New to this. Does the scanner need to physically touch the art piece, or can you, ie, stand 3-4ft away? Would it be blurry or not work correctly at that distance?

[@CharestStudios]

@ it has to touch the scanner. There are little wheels that turn as you push it across a surface and those wheels engage the scanner

@@CharestStudios Thanks I should have watched the video closely, as you did explain it haha

Artwork is the last thing I'd use something like this for but ever since I heard about those hand held scanners from the 1980s that print on thermal paper, I always wanted something like it that I could take to the library.

[@CharestStudios]

I have some kids cameras that you can take photos with and printout right away on thermal paper and I love them. The only problem is the print fade pretty quick. So if it is anything I want to keep long term I scan it.

How high up from the surface can you scan from, assuming you keep the rollers rolling? Thinking of setting down a rod for the rollers to roll on instead of the original artwork, which would set the scanner maybe a centimeter above the actual art surface. Do you know if that would work?

[@CharestStudios]

@@mrskwrl I don’t think it would work well. Generally scanners are very limited focus distance. At a centimeter it would probably give you an image but it may not be sharp enough. Are you think of this because the surface is not smooth. I did scan some painting s that were not completely smooth and it did pretty well but sometimes would skip if it went over a high spot. I guess your idea is worth a try.

Unfortunately my scanner didn’t work this good. Haven’t been able to get a decent scanner yet - Do you ever get light streaks? Maybe mine is not functioning properly.

[@CharestStudios]

@@rosegracex it takes a bit of practice sometimes together a perfect scan. If you use the dude marks on the scanner and line one up with the edge of the paper and keep it lined up as you move the scanner. Try to scan at a steady speed , not too fast. I hope that might help .
