Mark, >> flatbed scanner<< I've suggested and had a lot of luck with the Micortek line of scanners for my customers. There is one that I particarly like called the Scanmaker II SP (stands for single pass). It has a system call DCR (Dynamic Color Rendition) which is just a fancy way of saying that it comes with a color target and software to calibrate the scanner from time to time. It also has a transparency option available for 35mm and other film formats. It works well with Adaptec SCSI adapters so if you already have one you won't even have to open your system to install it. Another nice one is one by Epson. They have a version which will work thru a bi-directinoal parallel port (most systems come with them today). You get what you pay for. The Epson is nice, but the Microtek is higher performance and has the color calibration system. Hope that helps. Ang, President, Dynamic Technologies, Inc.
