Any advice would be very much appreciated. I only got my Applemac a few months ago (use photoshop 7.0 and Quark), and would now like to buy an A3 Printer and Scanner.
PRINTER
I need the printer for printing off all kinds of work, eg. photos, both small and large, cards etc and was thinking of the Epsom Stylus Photo R1800 Printer.
SCANNER
I need a scanner for general use and also for slides. Should I buy seperate scanners or one that does all?
I only started serious photography June 2005, father gave me his old Canon 300 SLR camera which means I now have a lot of boxes of slides!!!!! I don't really want to pay out, unless I have to for a Nikon 5000 ED SuperCoolscan (£750!!!!).
Do you think the Epsom Perfection V700 would do as good a job? and would the newer V750 (alot more money) be better still? I am hoping to have a digital SLR by next year, but have a lot of slides that I want to use/possibly sell, so when I scan them in I need to lose as little as possible in sharpness, the slide scanner is something I will be using for a long time, as my father has thousands of slides which I would also be scanning into digital images as well. I don't want to buy the V700 and then wish I has bought a dedicated slide scanner – what do you think please?
