Scanner Recommendation

[jjhannon]

Hello All!

I recently repaired a friends HP 5370C scanner. When testing it I found out it does a much better job than my Microtech scanner (6000 series) The detail and color accuracy is superior.

I am looking to update my flat bed scanner. I have a PC system with USB ports. I would like something that has better resolution and color accuracy. The Epson Perfection 4870 looks interesting.

Scanning negatives does not matter because I have a dedicated film scanner.

If Anyone has suggestions, I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
John

Found the basic information I needed elsewhere......I thought this was a discussion forum. 76 views and not one person can recommend a good scanner?

Well jjhannon the drum scanners from ICG are pretty good, but I have a strange feeling they may be a bit too good for what you're looking for - but at least I recommended some!

I have had good results with the Epson Perfection series of scanner, but I'm not sure if they are good enough for what you want....?
