: Anybody out there using the HSD Scan-X professional scanner? How well
: does it work? I'm thinking of getting one. Thanks,

I have no connection with HSD whatsoever other than being a completely
satisfied customer.  I have the HSD Scan-X Colour, trying out the new
software as well, and the hardware/software is fantastic.

If you get a colour scanner, something that's fun to try is to scan
your watch, if you have one that's non-digital.  As the second hand
moves, it leaves a three colour trail, it makes some rather cunning
effects if you have a stopwatch as well...

Question about scanning:  I need to scan in a pre printed form, fill
out the bits using something like Create, and then print it out on
the pre printed form...has anyone figured out a way of getting this to
work?  

Until now I scan the form, use create, paste the tiff into a create 
document (which never fits and alaways has to be scaled to A4 size)
add what I want where I want, delete the background tiff, and print on
the form....that always misaligns, either too high, low, left, or
right...

Help?

Scott
