sprinklz Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 I've always used Epson scanners. The one I currently have is the Epson Perfection 1250. It scans letter size or slightly larger, and I've been very happy with it. I got it almost 6 years ago, so I can't even begin to help you on what it sells for. I'd imagine there is a similar one available for a reasonable price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan Neff Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Another Epson fan here. I use the Epson Perfection 4990 Photo, which, from your post, sounds like more scanner than what you need right now (it scans negatives from 35mm up to 8x10). However, I'm betting that you can't go wrong with Epson products. Check out their website and see what's in your price range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karooch Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 I have a Canon LiDE 25 and I find it just great. I think most of the well known brands are pretty good these days. One thing I would suggest is you make sure you get one with the hinge at the top (short) end rather than one which opens from the side like a book. It just makes scanning your paper layouts (if you do them) a lot easier. You can easily scan both halves and then photomerge (stitch) them together to make a whole layout. I wrote a [url="http://karooch.wordpress.com/2006/11/22/scrapbooking-tips-techniques-photomergeelectronic-versions-of-your-paper-scrapbook-layouts/"]tutorial on my blog on doing a scan and photomerge [/url]if you need to find out how to do it.
