Thanks to a friend reclaiming the scanner that they'd given me (canon lide 25), I'm in the market for a decent flatbed. It did an okay job scanning a couple manuals and some other flat up against the glass type items, but unless it was completely flat the image came out terrible. There's some small art I need to scan and I don't need to do a sideart scan in anywhere near the immediate future, but it'd be nice to find one I'd be able to do that with if the situation arises. Unless I can figure out a decent system to do so I'm probably going to take the CPO sized stuff I want to scan to kinko's in the middle of the night to find an employee to not care about copyright with their big ass scanners. I've poked around a bit online, but given that most of the stuff I'm planning on scanning at the moment is arcade related (and because I couldn't find a thread like this through search going back a ways), I figured I'd put it to you guys to see what you're using and what you recommend. I'd love to find one that worked well and only needed power from the USB port under $120ish, but I'd be happy with something that works well and isn't some hideously expensive $400 scanner.
Thoughts?
