Digital BW, The Print

My original post requested advice on Legal size (A3) scanners. 

Since then logistics and requirements have changed and I need to scan 
60 high quality 8x10 B&W prints - and the client is willing to buy a 
decent scanner for me to do the job (it'll be my payment). 

We do Not need a transparency adapter.

Which current Epson model has:
1. a very good D-Max 
2. a good optical resolution 
3. good scanning software included 
4. USB connection 

thank you

I recently did a similar scanning job of old 8x10 b & w prints with my Epson
1680 and it did a great job.

Then almost any Epson (and Canon) will do the job right. You don't need 
more than 600 PPI resolution. Dmax is high enough for reflective work. 
Software that comes with the scanner is good enough. It will be hard to 
find one without USB. Better check their USB I or II qualities.

He's right. Just about any of the lower priced Epson's would do the job. I have 
a $200.00 Epson that I've used to scan prints to make 40x60 prints on fabric 
from these scans and they worked just fine. The faster the connection you 
have the better off you will be though.
