Flatbed Scanner Recommendations for new CGC Magazine Slabs 2 2

[inception_comix]

Hello.  Currently, I use an HP Scanjet 8390 Flatbed Scanner with Vuescan scanning software for my comic slabs.  I received back some new CGC Magazine Slabs and unfortunately, the width of my HP Scanjet scanner is not wide enough.  The scanning surface is 14 x 8 1/2 inches.  About an inch short width wise.  The CGC Magazine slabs are 14 x 9 1/2 inches.  I'm looking for flatbed scanner recommendations that would fit the new CGC Magazine Slab dimensions for scanning.  Thanks!

Depending on how many you'll have to scan, could you bring them to like a staples or FedEx copy/print center?

I purchased the Plustek OpticPro A320E and love it.  Its scan bed size is 11 x 17. It’s not cheap, but it has been working great for me.  Here’s an example scan.  I haven’t messed around with the settings at all, all stock.
