Is this >scanner good enough to get high quality prints from an Epson 2100 printer? The Scan Dual III is a 2820 dpi scanner so you probably won't be able to take advantage of the large print size capability (it's up to 13 x 44 like the earlier Epsons, IIRC?) but other that that it should be excellent. If you want to make larger than 8 x 12 inch prints you really need a 4000 dpi class scanner (I use the Kodak RFS 3600, which is 3600 dpi and makes beautiful 12 x 18 inch prints on my Epson 1270). >Obviosly I want the best quality possible at the lowest cost possible.

As long as you stick to A4 size (or maybe just slightly larger) for prints. -- Mark Roberts www.robertstech.com Photography and writing
