Hi Peter, Hmm, no problem, I really appeciate all the info other users are giving you and I and others. This is the magic of the forums. When people band together and help out when they can. — Here is a story, about 6 months ago, I was working for an animation shop, and the guy there that does the imaging stuff, had a scanner (FLATBED) hooked up to his computer. One day, I bring in a very old picture of my grandfather, it was not black and white, but … kind of the look they try today to make a picture look old .. sort of brownish. — Anyway, he scanned this picture, and when it cam out on the computer screen, it took my breath away, it looked EXACTLY like the original!, he also had a colour printer hooked up, and he printed it out, cut it for me, and gave me a copy of this picture that you would find amazing. I really could not tell the difference between the two. Sorry to say, I should have written down the model and brand of this scanner for reference in the future. … I had also seen him scan stuff from Sears catalogues, and it looks super nice. If you really want to test this printer, try taking some photograps, not .. 35 mm stuff, but anything that a professional photographer has taken, … family photos, marriage photos etc, and try some scans at the max resolution of that machine, also try some pictures from those catalogues like Sears, or any mag that has some pretty decent pictures. You'll find you'll have a better way of rating how the colour of adjacent pixels produces the actual image. Anyway, take it easy, and have a good week-end. Hope you get back to me, by the way, what kind of scanner is it ? make and model ?, it is interesting because you said it was a 600 dpi optical. That is the same resolution of the brand new HP flatbed that came out last month. ok, bye for now Mark in Montreal
