that could also support PC's.) We need reasonably high resolution - 256 gray scale - but will be printing on a laserprinter rather than a type setter. From: dmm@genrad.com (Dottie MacKeen) Path: dmm We want both graphic scanning and the ability to add software to add OCR. We are considering a system from Microtek that offers both gray scale and color. I would appreciate any feedback that scanner users have on the function in general and on specific scanners and software. The articles I have read sound as if attempting color scanning is best left to graphic professionals since a great deal of expertise appears to be required. Additionally color scan images appear to take enormous amounts of disk - one scanner at full resolution was said to create a 75 meg file. Does anyone have any color scanning experience? Thanks dottie MacKeen
