I don't have experience with scanners, but I want to buy a hand held or flatbed color scanner. I am hoping someone out there can give me advise or can recommend a scanner, from their experience. More important to tell me what scanner not to purchase. I am not trying to scan graphics or images for placement into glossy catalog, brochures or magazines, but the scanner I want should be able to output graphics image resolution for on screen presentations and I want to be able to output images through an inexpensive color printer. I was contemplating about purchasing Hewlett Packard ScanJet IICX Color Scanner for A.T. With 400/1600DPI, 24 Bit, with ScanJet IIC XFACE included, which sales for $888. Do I need to spend this much for what I want to do? What is ScanJet IIC XFACE? If you have any advise for me or have a scanner for sale. I am looking forward to hearing from you.
