Scanner Recommendations?

[Anonymous Bosch]

I paint in oils on smooth hardboard or hardwood panels. I paint in very thin, smooth layers so my paintings are good candidates for scanning into digital format. I have a photographer I use for larger paintings, but lately I’ve been doing mostly 8×10 panels. I have a shop that I go to for scanning, but I’m thinking it would make much more sense to scan the paintings at home and save the money ($9/scan).

I have a printer that (I believe) doubles as a scanner. I’m going to try it out to see how it looks, but I imagine it probably will not be that fantastic. I want to be able to have high quality prints made from these scans. Can anyone recommend a good scanner that will do the job without breaking the bank? I’d happily spend a few hundred bucks – that would pay for itself very quickly.

Suggestions?

Just like any other man, only more so.

If the painting fits the scanner you should be OK at high resolution.

I have a Canon CanoScan 9000F Mark II scanner that I am very pleased with but holy cow has the price on these things gone up! I just did a price check on Amazon and they are selling for over $900 now! That’s not what I paid for mine some years ago. Yikes! I’d better take really good care of it. I certainly wouldn’t want to have to replace it at THAT price. When I bought it the cost was under $300.00.

The scans are beautiful, color-accurate and finely detailed. This scanner’s images are a good pairing with my Caonon Pixma iX 6520 ink jet printer (sadly, that model is no longer available).

Thanks for the information. Not so long ago I was searching for good financial software development companies. And I found one that can help with the fintech app https://www.intellectsoft.net/solutions/financial-software-development-services. So this is a process where applications can be integrated with several other banking systems and synchronize with cross-platform services.

Tengo un poco de experiencia usando el escáner. Básicamente, uso un dispositivo que es 3 en 1. El nombre de la impresora es Epson Model 3210. Puedo usarla fácilmente como impresora, escáner y copiadora. Además, puedes probar HP. Éste también es bueno. También lo usé en el pasado. Muy buen servicio hasta ahora. De todos modos, ¿qué haces en tu tiempo libre? ¿Te gusta jugar juegos como el casino? ¿Sabes que puedes jugar juegos usando visa https://casinoschilenos.online/visa/? Solo intenta y disfruta de tu mejor momento.

Don’t wish to insult your intellignce, but if your printer is of a reasonble quality, it should produce acceptable results if used correctly. And if you have access to some decent photo-editing software—it woud be rare to find a scan that required absolutely no editing. My own printer/scanner is very low-end but it still can produce a very reasonable scan providing I use it correctly.

My brother-in-law spent almost endless hours scanning old family photographs on his printer/scanner, but he never bothered to learn the features of it and so scanned everything at lo-res on the ‘auto’ setting.

When I offered to digitally retouch a particularly valuable, but damaged photograph for him, he was delighted. Unfortunately I could do very little with it because the resolution was so low. This was how I discovered that he had scanned probably hundreds of photos by just clicking ‘auto’.

PLEASE how do I make these dreadful yellow things go away?
