Scanning Biohazard Guidebooks

[Ray]

If I'm scanning an entire book then I'll de-spine it. But lately I've just been cutting out only the pages I need to scan (art, interesting info) with an exacto knife. Much less messy and a lot less time spent on my behalf.

You're right on the scanner too. Its working out much better than my previous consumer line one. Can't really argue when you get results like this

Nice...

I wish I could draw like that... Capcoms artists are very skilled; few lines = awesomeness. Nice scan P!

The scanner I got is an HP 8250. It retailed for some insane amount of money (something like $600), but I was able to get a second-hand one for a little over $200.

I just finished up scanning in all RE1 art assets, so heres an Enrico

Holy shit...

Indeed, holy shit :O
It's so clear. I would never have said it was scanned.

That scanner puts my scanner to shame, by a MSRP difference of about 500 bucks... Egads, Dot! That must be one hell of a scanner!

The one drawback is its auto-feeder. I was hoping to use it on books like Archives, but the scan quality is not as clear as opposed to scanning it right on the glass. Takes about 8 minutes per scan too at 1200 DPI. Kinda a bitch, but hopefully it'll be worth it in the end
