Went on a jaunt today to buy the scanner. (Nearest CompUSA is about 1 1/2 hour drive away.) I know I could have ordered it online and had it delivered, but I wanted to go get it. It installed with no problem. This is a super duper and mid-expensive scanner, Epson Perfection 3200.
Scanning seems fine so far. I was disappointed that the scanned and printed lines on a cartoon (line drawing) seem slightly thicker than the original. That's all on automatic settings so I'll play around with it to see if I can find a better way. Haven't tried scanning any old slides yet.
What does the new scanner open up? (I've been about nine months now without a scanner.)
- making a "real" website because I can scan in photos and slides of bowls I've already photographed
- scanning in paintings and collages, printing them out onto cards - even reproducing some as small prints to sell
- facilitating cartoon drawing - scanning and enlarging cartoons to study, making copies of finished cartoons to submit to magazines
- scanning in my painted artwork to print out for use in collages
Maybe there's more, but I'm tired tonight. Happy. Tomorrow promises to be a quiet and rich studio day.
