Hello,

   Would anyone have reccommendations for a good quality color
scanner (256 color, about 600 DPI) and color printer (up to
8.5x11 output, 256 color, about 600DPI)?  I know this is
a pretty generic request, but generic responses are appreciated.
The application involves scanning color photographs of damaged
structures for on-line access by engineers.  A color output
device would be needed to make hardcopy and should be able to
render the original in near photographic quality.  

As an aside... is 600 DPI good enough?  We have been looking at
a Tangent drum scanner that has very tight registration at 1000 DPI,
but at $170,000, it's a little pricy.  Another machine we've
been considering is the Cannon CDC-500, a 400 DPI color scanner,
printer, and color copier.  It sells for about $70,000.

Thanks

Joe Pace
