Setup for that is really expensive, and you're probably only going to press 10 or so copies. I'd say it's totally not worth it. An audio CD I burned 9.5 years ago has been living in my car for 9.5 years and still works fine, so storing a burned data CD in the dark and at room temp should work for double that. > If anyone can point me to where I can read up on preferred scan > resolution, output format, general information, etc Text: 300 DPI Group4 TIFF, black-n-white Black-n-white pictures: 300 DPI LZW TIFF, grayscale Color pictures: 300 DPI LZW TIFF, RGB ...200 8.5x11" pages in 300 DPI Group4 TIFF will fit in 100M. Modify for how these pages are set up; grayscale and color use up a lot more space because Group4 is insanely efficient. TIFF is pretty future-proof and is lossless unless you do something silly like use JPEG-TIFF. (Yeah, I worked extensively with scanning and TIFFs at my old job.) -- Matt G / Dances With Crows The Crow202 Blog: http://crow202.org/wordpress/ There is no Darkness in Eternity/But only Light too dim for us to see --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
