I've bee wanting to be able to digitally color some of my drawings, but I need a good scanner to scan my art into the computer. I don't need to scan film or negatives. I just need something that high res and reliable. I was looking at the Microtek ScanMaker i900, but I'm a little pressed for cash right now. Could anyone reccommend a good photo scanner for someone on a budget?
I suggest checking some reviews at cNet -- good/adequate scanners are really inexpensive these days, and I see a lot of them being sold used for next-to-nothing. I like the software which came with Agfa scanners, but I don't think they make them any more. Especially if you plan to scan type or line drawings, try and get one with an "optical resolution" of at least 2000 dpi.
