Can you believe it: a scanner for $60? Just picked one up from Staples - a Canon LiDE 25. You can get it at Amazon for a bit cheaper ($50). Pretty good reviews - main complaint being that it's very slow (1-2 minutes per page), so don't get this if you need to scan things often.
Update: I was getting a "TWAIN error" and had to update my path manually to fix it.
Update 2: Try turning off Auto Tone - this can improve the quality.
Perfect timing, Jon: I'm heading home (Moms' home) in a few weeks and need an affordable compact scanner to take with me. Doing the 'document old family photos from the 80s before they disappear' project.
ReplyDeleteGood stuff, Jeff. If you have a Mac, maybe do some quick research to make sure there aren't any issues with Macs.
