Joseph: Anything up to folio size (11x17) I scan in two passes than stitch the two parts together in a graphic program. The original gets folded and placed in the binder. Larger than that the original is placed in a mailing tube and placed in the corner<g>. You can get larger sheets scanned for a small fee at Staples or Office Max and placed on a thumb drive.
