In a recent project that VTLS worked on that involved several million images, our tests showed that the scan at 400 dpi was actually worse than at 300dpi because it was picking up too much noise from the texture of the paper at 400 dpi and not as much at 300 dpi.
I too would put my money on scans (proper resolution - not necessarily high), digital storage and image databases. Vinod Chachra President VTLS Inc. Phone: 703-231-3605 Fax: 703-231-3648
