<br>work with very flat copy.&nbsp;&nbsp;CCD scanners work better with 3D opjects.&nbsp;&nbsp;Try<br>your watch or a leaf sometime.</blockquote>

<div>Good to know.&nbsp; Thanks Carl.&nbsp; I haven't scanned anything but 1 page (B/W) lineart.&nbsp; I'll have to test a couple things with more depth and post the pics.</div>

<br>Don't know exactly what you need Carl, but hopefully this'll aid in your decision.<br>
