Digital BW, The Print

Hi Bill-

You might want to ask your question on the Hi-End Scanning list-
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ScanHi-End/

You will get lots of opinionated responses ;^)

IMO, for that volume of work, you should look into a refurbished Howtek 4500
or 8000 from Aztek, Inc, along with their Digital PhotoLab software.

Feel free to contact me off-list if you want to discuss this further.


Regards,

Bill Morse
