New Scanner Suggestions?

[jardo]

I have always been a big fan of the Eversmart scanners made by Kodak, was Creo who bought Scitex. It will be the closest to drum scanner quality. Easy to use and color manage.

We replaced our drum scanner with an Epson 10000XL with the transparency option. I think the most important thing is to make the best device profiles that you can for the scanner. I use Hutchcolor targets and capture at 48bit. The majority of our scan work is artist originals and the scanner/profiles produce scans as good as the drum could. Transparencies scan good also.
Best regards,
Todd

I agree with jardo. If you are looking for Repro quality look at Screen or Kodak's Flat bed scanner.

I had sugested a Microtek Flatbed that could scan tabloid sized artwork. Well MicroTek is no longer offering consumer level scanners in North america. So there goes that suggestion.
