[QUOTE="Nethfel, post: 1439437, member: 89124"] Hi, This white paper from Epson might help clear up some of your confusion of the various terminology: [url]http://www.epson.com/cmc_upload/pdf/tech_scanner-resolution.pdf[/url] No one portion is the most important - various traits of a scanner will directly affect the image quality on the final scan. Reading that white paper will give you a lot of good information. I'd suggest to read it all, but the material you're specifically looking for is on the last page or two. In terms of type of scanner - I'm not a fan of All-in-ones. If one part breaks you can just replace that one part easily, you have to replace the entire unit (unless you now want multiple all-in-ones on your desk). Also most all in ones don't have the quality of stand alone scanners. With you wanting high quality photos scanned in, I'd spend the money and get the best scanner I could that has proven quality. Now, that said, you will probably have to profile your printer, scanner and your monitor so you know what you see on your screen is the best representation that the scanner can produce and that the printer, when the photo is printed will produce an image as close to what it really is (and what is really displayed with a properly calibrated monitor). In terms of what to get - unfortunately, I've been out of the scanner game for a while in terms of photography and normally for my work I just have to worry about requisitioning sheet fed scanners for the different departments which usually aren't the greatest for photos. If I were to look today for a high quality scanner, I'd start doing some research on some of the photography websites (ie: dpreview.com , luminous-landscape.com , etc.) and find out what photographers there are using then start doing some research of those models to see what would suit your needs the most.
