- How much money do you have? If you have all the $ to go to the high
- end, you can get a great deal of productivity out of a
- Crosfield/Scantronix/Xyvision combination. You would then have
- scanning, plotting, TIFF, Scitex R300, Hell, DDES, DSEA, Crosfield,
- Scantronix, SGI, and many other file formats.
-
- Surely there is a Crosfield Scanner with enough quality for you.
- There are a great many of them on the 2nd hand market.
-
- This is a solved problem, if you have the cash.
- Can you give more specifics?
-
- You might also try the Optronics ColorGetter, but I do not think it
- scans A4; Optronics support out there is pretty thin.
