It's worth observing that this technique works superbly with DSLRs,
as well. Get any new DSLR and a 50mm (ish) macro, take multiple
overlapping images (by repositioning the artwork), and use
Photoshop's panorama feature to merge them
I do a lot of work exactly like this and it works very well. My lens
of choice is a 180mm Canon macro on a 5dII. Artwork is held on a
vertical wall mounted board. Camera is on a good studio stand. I
simply photograph all but the very largest pieces by shooting the the
full width of the narrow dimension of the work with the camera high on
the camera stand. Simply slide the camera down the stand and shoot
well overlapping exposures. I shoot with a tethered camera using
cross polarized studio strobes. Images are auto merged in Photoshop
using the "Reposition" option. It's a very quick process that
produces excellent results.
Color management, light quality and general workflow setup will affect
your output more than the capture device assuming its something even
semi reasonable.
