Dear Emil,

Check out the ScreenScan product at www.screenscan.com (or
http://softwarefinesse.com/screenscan/)  From its product info page, it
says:

>The system scans at 400 dpi with 256 levels of gray per pixel. The unique
and
>patented image enhancement processor yields exceptional image sharpness
>and quality. ScreenScan allows direct image transfer to laser printers via
its

>images to a PC via ScreenScan's SCSI-2 interface.

I've not examined it for a couple years, but what I liked was that the
product is designed to retrofit a scanning device to an existing
microfilm/fiche reader so you avoid having to purchase an entire machine
from a vendor. Let's you leverage your investment.

Hope this helps. Regards, stuart
