Hello
Does anybody have any suggestions for a scanner or all in one printer that will give brilliant results when scanning digital photos that will be printed. Also what are the differences in hardware dpi, optical dpi and resolution dpi and what is the most important in terms of photo scanning. Also when scanning what amount of dpi should i choose to ensure the scans look exactly like the original photograph and won't just look good when viewed on a screen. My current scanner is an old Epson Photo Perfection 3170 ( spec here EPSON Perfection 3170 PHOTO, Specifications - Product Information - Epson America, Inc. ) but my thinking is a newer all in one printer might be just as good even though the epson is designed for scanning photos, or would it be better purely getting a new photo scanner. ( by all in one printer i mean along the line of All-in-one printers Buy online | Currys ). Sorry for being so picky but i will be scanning hundreds of photos and i want to do it right first time around)
And finally is there any other features i should be looking out for that will make my job easier like being able to scan more than 1 photo at once.
Thanks for any help.
