http://paullantz.smugmug.com/gallery/1459263_uLXq3/ I recently bought a new scanner, a Microtek ArtixScan M1 with Lasersoft software (with calibration targets). I mainly wanted it to handle prints but have used it mostly for slides. I am comparing some of the scans done on it to my Dimage Elite 5400 II slide scanner. I have not really used it for prints due to speed issues so I am probably in the market for a good quality print scanner at some point. http://www.smugmug.com/img/feed-icon.png Other Wed, 30 Nov -001 00:00:00 -0800 Tue, 29 Jul 2008 20:38:53 -0700 http://www.smugmug.com/ Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
