With my C$149.95 IBM Ideascan;
I found that a scan of the page in a diary came out far better if the setting was
for full colour. i.e. 300

For text as in a newspaper with columns etc. the OCR optical character recognition
software provided with the cheapest scanners is something you can edit to
perfection in Adobe or any software that imports a pdf file .

I haven't saved up enough washers to buy a digital camera.  [Come to think of it -
you do not need to have a scanner if you have a digital camera.  But it does not
have OCR for text]
