TL;DR tips for shopping for a new scanner
What are the primary options/types of document/artwork scanners?
- Small and very portable scanners. Small flatbed, foldable document feeders or move with your hand.
- These usually max out at 300ppi optical scan.
- Cost is higher (it's portable), quality is lower.
- Less expensive, smaller flatbed document scanners.
- Most often have an optical scan resolution of 2400 x 2400 dpi.
- Cost is lower, quality, and sharpness is better than #1, but less than #3 😉.
- These are primarily built for hobbyists scanning photo prints and document scanning.
- What resolution means and what should you get?
