Flip-Pal Scanner
Posted: Wed Feb 02, 2011 9:12 pm
This is one neat little tool! I had heard about it prior to attending the show and went in search of it. I received a personal demo at their booth and I have to say it is pretty darn cool!! It is a handy little scanner for all scrappers and crafters. Here is what it looks like....
The scanner measures 10.25″ x 6.5″. It is super light, felt like it weighed next to nothing. The actual scanning area is 4x6".
One of the coolest features is that the scanning bed is see-thru. In the image on the right, you'll see the glass scanning area and it is transparent through the back. This allows you to position the scanner exactly where you want it! Did I forget to mention that the lid is removable. Scan like normal with the lid on or remove the lid and flip it over to scan.
The second coolest feature... everything scans on a 2GB SD card, that comes with the scanner! You don't plug this scanner into your pc. You simply remove the SD card from the scanner and transfer images to your pc. A USB SD Card adapter is also included in the box for those computers or laptops that may not fit the SD card.
Wait! This may be the coolest feature yet! The SD card come with built-in stitching software! Yes! This is an easy scan & stitch process. Flip-Pal™ Toolbox for Windows with stitching and color restoration. *Now also available for Mac. I watched this stitching process at work and it really did create a stitched image where I couldn't see the seams.
