Hi Jim,

I'd buy the best, highest resolution scanner possible soon, and not a
flatbed.

Good choice.

See notes on papers that I've been using and what I have set up with the 220
in my Readme file, below.  See the papers supported by ICCs at
http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/R220_UT-R2_ICC_Download.html   I go for smooth
surface, high dmax, and when it's on my account, affordable acid free.

In addition to those papers, I'm now using Premier Art's dual sided 210
weight "Matte BW" for an every day as well as roll paper.  See
http://www.premierimagingproducts.com/pm_mattebw.php  and

See Tom Baker's post.

I believe the 340 operates just like the 220 that I've used and written up
at http://home1.gte.net/res09aij/R220_R2_Readme.pdf 

Good luck with the system.
