[comp.sys.mac.hardware] SCANNERS, Advice needed....

cs161fdx@sdcc10.ucsd.edu (Tod Kuykendall) (12/05/90)

   I'm trying to help a friend out here.  She's a graphic designer who
frequently scans images.  She has a Mac II but is trading the whole system
in for an fx (drool droool) system in January.  She's disappointed with
the Applescanner she has now.  
   What she really wants is to go up above 300 dpi, but I haven't really
seen scanners in that range greater than 400.  It seems cheaper to get 24
bit color than higher resolution.
   What I need is advice, comments or observations on scanners
particularly upscale ones.  (ie color or higher rez...)  In this line has
anyone heard anything about the LaCie (sic?) scanners.  I've heard their
drives are ok if not as great as they claim in their ads, but their
scanner is new as far as I can tell.
   Thanks in advance.....    -tk
