dedicated scanner vs. multifunction printer

by englander May 11, 2005 12:04PM PDT

I am working on my dissertation and need a document scanner; scanning photos would be nice, but only for personal use. The price range of multifunction printers and scanners is quite equivalent - is there an advantage to a dedicated scanner? I have a canon bubblejet that works fine for my needs.

I'm impressed with the new Epson Perfection 4180 Photo.

Email me via my contact (in my profile) with an address if you want to see something it did.

Epson 4180 vs. Epson 4990

by carols231 Jul 3, 2005 8:28AM PDT

I want to buy a scanner to scan both old photos and slides and make a dvd with them. I would also like to make print collages. I have been looking at the Epson 4180 & 4990, Canon 4200F,8400F, and the HP5590. Suggestions?
Thanks,
Carol
