I've used one, and they work great. I've also used their new scanning  
software which will be released later this month, and it's terrific.

Disclaimer: I have done a bit of contract work for HSD.

I recently purchased HSD's Scan-X Professional (with soon-to-be-released
PowerScan).  Great stuff.  Great deal.  I highly recommend it.

Yet another vote for HSD's Scan-X Color with PowerScan, which is a
really nice tool.  (No connection with HSD)  It's not terribly fast,
but I haven't ever seen a 24-bit color scanner that is.  The quality
is very nice.

 I know of someone in need of a scanner that will do 1200 dpi full
color (24bit) and 2400 dpi line art.  Any suggestions??

I've been real happy with my HSD Scan-X professional scanner.  I'm
thinking of upgrading to their color unit if someone will pay a
reasonable price for my lightly used black & white model, so please
let me know if you are interested.

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

What I do: Scan the form with high contrast, line-art at 400dpi.  Save
the image (no compression).  Fire up Appsoft Draw, and use the box tool
to outline the size of the form.  Click "none" from the outline box, so
that the outline goes away.  Make sure the box is selected and use
File->Import->Scale to fit in selected object.  The for is now on your
screen.  Magnify the form by %200 and use the Test tool to fill in the
various parts.

How about dragging the tiff into Diagram(!), locking it (so it can't be 
selected) and putting textfields wherever you need them.  Fill out the
textfields however you want and print the sucker.  Next time you want
to fill out the form, just change the text.
