</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>>
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>> I was hoping someone could recommend a good scanner for me.
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>>
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>> Background:
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>> I have a UMAX Astra 610 or 620 scsi. It's okay, but getting this
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>> thing to work with my Adaptech 2940UW is next to impossible (I've
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>> done it before, but it's always a pain). That is, I can't even get
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>> my system to boot reliably, forget loading linux. In the past, it
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>> locked up my system often under Linux, less ofter under Win9x.
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>>
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>> So I thought I'd get a USB scanner, since USB seems to be working
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>> well under Linux.
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>>
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>> I'm looking for one that I can do transparency scanning with, as I
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>> am rather sick of having my carefully adjusted photos (I tend to
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>> take 3 or 5 of them, each with different f-stops, etc) all color
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>> corrected into mediocraty.
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>>
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>> I'm not looking to print photos with my scans (yet), so I don't
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>> really need 2400dpi scanning, but more is better.
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>>
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>> I have $200 I can spend on the scanner, but I may (or may not) go
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>> higher.
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>>
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>> I was looking at the Epson Perfection 1240U photo and 1640SU photo
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<EM>> based on the Epson sane driver page page.
|
|
</EM><BR>
|
|
<P><P>I have a 1240U photo, but your not going to find it for $200. I think mine was about $300
|
|
<BR>
|
|
with the transparency adapter. I think it's a very good scanner for its price.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>It works very with Linux, after I made a timeout patch described on the sane driver page.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
Definitely plug and play.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>I often scan 35 mm negative film, and I think the results are good but not outstanding. I
|
|
<BR>
|
|
use a resolution of 1800 dpi, but anything above 1200 is accomplished with interpolation
|
|
<BR>
|
|
and therefore might want to be avoided. At these settings you have "mega-pixel" resolution.
|
|
<BR>
|
|
The shortcoming is the optical density, although it's not bad (3.0 I think), a larger
|
|
<BR>
|
|
dynamic range would really help. For scanning slides, it is even more critical. (I've only
|
|
<BR>
|
|
scanned negatives).
|
|
<BR>
|
|
<P>I believe the 1640U has a higher optical density but I don't have direct experience with it.

|
