Hello again,

  This is the third, and hopefully final, phase of the Art department
re-equiping.

  This is a much harder one to define.  We already have 3 scanners here
but not one of them can live up to its rated maximum resolution or else
they have other problems with color, grey scale, etc.  The
sales-drones tell you to buy the upgraded model.  When you try to get
the scanner fixed the company goes to receivers (with your scanner there
as a company asset!) and of course, there is no hope of a refund.  We
managed to get the unit back, but no change in its functionality.  

  What I would like is a unit that functions at high resolution, full
color, can take up to A4 size images, and works.  The image that is
produced should be in a popular format or all the conversion software
to put it into a common format must be provided.  By common format I
mean PICT, giff, jpeg, tiff or PostScript.

  Does anyone know of such a beast?  

  Part of our original equipment problems were due to the Art dept.
buying the scanners and not testing them to the peak of their ability
until 8 months later when no company wants to hear of you.  So this time
it would be nice if the device would have an Australian distributor who
is willing to put a unit in for a weeks solid testing prior to purchase.

  If I get enough responses then a summary will appear.
