Scanners

Fri Jun 5, 2009, 1:59 PM
I'm in the market for a new scanner since the one I have now is like 9 years old and the scan quality has really gone downhill. :C I hate to say bye bye to my trusty Epson but the time has come...

Do you guys have any suggestions for a good scanner? I need one that will do colors justice since I tend to work with traditional media rather than CG.
I just don't really know where to start and the reviews that I have read online for scanners have been kind of unhelpful. XD;

Hmmm...I've only ever used HP Pavilion Scanners for tradional media, and the colours always came out pretty good, but I'm sure someone could suggest something better. :)

I use a CanonScan N670U, which works pretty well. It's a bit old, though, so I'm not sure if it's still available.

I have a Mustek ScanExpress A3 1200 pro, which is a HUGE badboy. It scans up to 11 X 17 and it seems to work pretty well for me.

because scanners always EAT colors. they must be tasty... I guess. *shrug* anyway, it's good that this means I'll be seeing some more of your stuff huh? :3 hope you do find a good one tho.

KIYAAAAAAAAAH!!! Boot to the head!

MRIs may say we use all our brain, but Einstein wasn't wrong in saying we only use 10%. He just mean't mentally. No wonder even smart people can be dumb. XP

I have an HP but it isn't accurate w/colors. At work, we have an Epson and it rocks! Pretty damn accurate. Maybe just a newer version of the same brand?

I quite like my Canon LiDE60 -- that particular one isn't around anymore, but the Canon LiDE-series scanners can still be found. The 600F seems to be on the top end, but honestly at this point all scanners tend to produce really good results.

Here's a scan of a lovely image Jen Seng did for me, at 600dpi (beware it's massive) :

The scanner is optically capable of twice that.
