Archived from groups: rec>photo>digital (more info?)

I'm looking for a device I've not seen yet, but I'm sure is available
somewhere (or somewhen soon!).

I want a compact USB 2.0/firewire optimized photo scanner with a
'feeder' for prints up to size 4x6". I want to put a stack of 60 into
the feeder, calibrate for a representative image, set scan to produce
jpgs of about 4 MB, then come back two hours later.

I'd pay up to $300 for such a device. Ok, maybe more.

Anyone know of one?

Thanks,

john

Thanks! Fujitsu has a good entry level document scanner on the market.
I try to avoid HP document scanners; I had a bad experience with an HP
sheet feeder years ago (turns out my scanner was a shredder too!) and
have been phobic ever since.

I'm not looking for a document scanner though, they are typically quite
poor at image scanning. In any case their sheet feeders will generally
choke on a print. Too thick.

The device I'm looking for is designed to scan prints, not documents,
and its sheet feeder is optimized for prints. Also, it needs to be very
compact, I don't have much room.

For your price range, you're probably better off outsourcing.

The weird thing is Epson discontinued it! It looks great and it was
selling very well on Amazon.
