I will also weigh in on the side of Epson - we have an Epson 1600 with transparency adapter for the glass plate project I am working on for the Marshallese Cultural Center. I am very pleased with the results. Here at work we have a Linotype Hell flatbed that I am not enamoured with at all and it is supposed to be a superior product.. Sue

Epson scanners in this price range also are very good. The Expression 1680 comes in a USB or FireWire version, scans at 1600 dpi, has a transparency adapter (3.6 Dmax) and is bundled with LaserSoft's SilverFast Ai scanner control software, a great application which is usually a $600+ add-on.

We bought a Umax for that price and remain extremely happy with its unfailing service and quality - a lot of bang for the buck.

Hello folks, We decided to do inhouse scanning last fall for the Photoshare collection (www.jhuccp.org/mmc/photoshare). However, we did not have a say in purchasing the scanning equipment. Our network administrators gave us HP scanners (6390C and Photosmart S20). We have had bad results
(particularly with the flatbed 6390c), but it has been difficult persuading them that we need better equipment. I have never heard any of you out there talk about using HP scanners. Can you share your honest opinion about hp scanners if you have one? Also, it's not clear to me what we can afford, but if you could only spend $1500 on a flatbed scanner, what would you buy?
(btw, 90% of what we scan is amateur prints, mostly 4x6in. We use PCs, we're on a LAN, and the workstations run windows nt) Thanks very much,
