Scanners
I used an Epson Expression 1600 equipped with a transparency adapter until recently (Dec. 2009). It’s a great scanner but Epson was VERY slow about updating its software for OS10. I chose this scanner because I had a transparency attachment large enough to make high resolution, 8″ x 11″ contact sheets of my slides. I could scan individual slides at a decent resolution, too.
Recently I upgraded to an Epson Perfection V750 Pro. It also has a transparency adapter and it does a remarkable job scanning slides. It is slightly smaller than the 1600 which is both good and bad. Its desktop footprint is smaller but the document area for scanning is also smaller. It is still large enough to do an legal document, however.
