Digital BW, The Print

Tim:

I suggest you completely read Wayne Fulton's website "a few scanning
tips"  www.scantips.com before you plunk down real money on a scanner.
There is a tremendous amount of data presented very concisely there.
It will help you put into perspective how much scanner you need. Also
recommended is digital scanner reviews at
http://www.imaging-resource.com/SCAN1.HTM

My personal objective when I got into this a few weeks ago was to
generate reasonable looking b&w prints with the shortest learning
curve so I wouldn't get frustrated and lose interest. Then I would
have some basis to improve on. Budget was not the primary
consideration, but I only ended up spending about $650 (scanner,
printer, software, paper).
