A to Z INDEX of all internal links on this site
Lots of links to sources of information on every kind of scanner, especially for desktop publishing, in-house publishing, graphics design studios, and prepress. Covers scanner software such as LinoColor Elite from Heidelberg CPS and Silver Fast from LaserSoft Imaging. If you own a computer then one of your most important peripherals is a scanner. This site offers plenty of tips and helpful hints on how to select the best scanner for SOHO, photography studios, or other professional use. Entry level scanners for home use are not covered because there are already more than enough commercial sites what handle low-end flatbed scanners.
To make it easier to navigate within this site here are enough internal links to keep you busy. Since the links automatically change colors as you visit their page, you can always tell which pages you have already visited (even if you visited them from elsewhere within the site).
