Scaning images

[Ian Snook]

Im not sure if i have placed this in the right place or if i need to be asking other people but i am looking to get a scanner printer for use at home so i can scan hand drawn images and printed images such as photos or other such media, to create things like logos (web) and posters/art (photo manipulation printed out using high quality printer not the one im on about buying) on photoshop and illustrator, therefore my question is, i have seen a printer with a scanner resolution of 600dpi and one with 1200dpi, ovo the 1200 will be better but is it worth going for it, will the difference be that noticeable? especially with creating poster/art and printing out high quality printer.

Thanks in advance
Ian

Hi Ian Snook

Welcome to PhotoShop Gurus

Scanning a 300 dpi will be enough most of the time for home use, if you are going to scan line art, glassy or very shinny objects, then i will recommend getting a 300+ dpi resolution , 'cause it will eliminate most of the aliasing or jaggines, the ideal resolution i will recommend will be 600 dpi

Hope this helps

Hi! I have this one, and it works fine, and isn´t very expensive.
