Got hold of a brand spanking new Epson V750 Perfection scanner and Epson Stylus R2880:D:D:D

Very very nice toys.

Now have to learn how to use them...Can't wait to get hold of some canvass rolls...anyone have advice on the satin or matte being better?

Cheers all
 
hope you enjoy Anton! Small world...I use to work at Motherwell SAPS a few years ago!

Oh yeah!!!!

There is just so much to learn to get the most out of them and really getting the most out of the scanner will mean a serious upgrade of computing power;)

I should maybe start by admitting that I always overengineer things and so, when others tell me that scanning a photo for restoration purposes at 1200 dpi works fine, I will do at at least 4800...mainly because I do NOT go with any flow and also, if I am going to charge people I want to be sure that I am giving them the absolute best quality.

Example...I scanned a small (6 x 9cm) yellowed B&W photo to restore it and print an enlarged version...at 9600 dpi and 16 bit greyscale.

It gave me an image of 1.72 Gb:naughty:

Viewing it at 2% placed a very small portion on my 15" lappy screen.Time for a serious hardware upgrade then;)

Cool and good for you. When were you in college? Can you still remember your force number?

Fancy that, meeting an ex-colleague on here:thumbs:
 
Bishop Lavis - 1994...was the 2nd year of 'integration' into other colleges. As for my force number...0467815-0...a number I will never forget! Even use it for my lottery numbers :).

I know, small world...I work with a former colleague of mine here, not planned at all, just worked out that way (a Juan Potgieter). He is not into 'togging' though..lol
