Digital BW, The Print

Until recently the Epson Perfection 2450 seemed to be the flatbed of 
choice. Excellent scanning of transparencies up to 4x5" at 2400dpi 
and reasonable price are the main reasons for this. It's discontinued 
and is to be replaced by the new 3200 model within a month, so I 
would wait for that.
