[or-roots] Need Scanner/printer ideas

[Ray Powell]

The handheld units that you move yourself is very difficult to use. You have to move it in a straight line and at a constant speed to get an even romotely usable copy. I had one a few years back and unless they have made vast improvements I would go with a flatbed scanner and separate printer as suggested by someone else earlier. Good luck! The camera has worked well for me so long as I could get the page to lie reasonable flat.

  haven't sen it yet, either.  first, the things are generally built with a 9 x 11 flat bed or bigger, meaning the device will be larger than that -- they are all rather light weight, except for the piece of glass.

  before the flatbed scanners took over, there used to be smaller, hand held scanners available (Logitec comes to mind) and when used properly they were rather useful, and certainly more portable than a flatbed.  scanner / printer combos do not seem to be tidy little devices either, but they are improving.

  Certainly open to options others have found to work,
