Re: OT: Print Scanner
If it's all 4x6 prints, the low end Epson would probably be the best bet (lowest cost). The software bundled with the scanner should also be good enough. The main thing is scanning takes time.

Re: OT: Print Scanner
I have used ScanCafe for slides, no complaints. But also I do have the Epson v 39 that has been mentioned, I use it mostly for documents. But I think it is ok for old family prints. Tomorrow I’ll scan and post an old family print which I’ll do at 100, 200, 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 3600… We’ll see.

Re: test 1 - godfreydigio...@me.com
Only about 4-5 members get dumped in SPAM, including myself. Have tired all ways of whitelisting and suchlike but no luck. It's clearly something outside my control. I suspect it might be because the addresses have been spoofed at some time. I know mine has because I used to get quite a few offers for blue pills from myself. > On 11/11/2023 17:33 GMT Godfrey DiGiorgi wrote: > > > Thanks mike.

Re: OT: Print Scanner
I have also had good results with ScanCafe. They provided timely, quality service exactly as I requested on my orders. Over time, I've had them process my complete holdings of slides and negatives plus a some prints I didn't 'have time to scan myself.

I think 300 dpi might be a bit low. Many home printers nowadays can print at 1200 (or even 2400) dpi, so presumably there's some extra information available at more than 300dpi on physical media. That being said, though, I've found scanning at 600dpi to be good enough for pretty much anything I've done. -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.

Re: OT: Print Scanner
I would recommend using a service instead of buying a scanner. If your sister is like most people, the scanning is a one time task .. to do good scanning take time and practice … a *lot* of practice and a *lot* of time … and then, once done, the scanner is of limited value and you have to put more effort into selling it. Cheap scanners do a relatively poor job, the scanning services all use the best scanners. Etc. The scanning services are run by people who are pretty expert at the task and they do it efficiently and well, at a modest cost per photo. Scanning the family archive is a one-time task for most people … get the whole lot done, pay whatever it costs, and you're done: enjoy the photos. I've had good luck with ScanCafe.com … I've arranged and managed the scanning process with them for several of my old clients (when I was still working). Their prices are reasonable, and they give you some options in the kind of quality and costs, depending on your need/use of the photos. Good luck.

Re: Print Scanner
I agree a cheap Epson model photo scanner (like the $100 Epson V39II) will do the job. However, I don't think scanning of ordinary prints at higher than 300 dpi is worthwhile as results will not become better. This in contrast with scanning of negatives or slides.
