For some documents there are very few surviving
copies, and it would seem
sensible to preserve those ones now in a form that was as close as reasonably
possible to the original - colour scans where colour exists in the document
(or the paper is non-white or the text non-black I suppose), greyscale for
text rather than bi-level, sufficient resolution for photos and diagrams etc.
I scan this way -- I use color or grayscale where necessary and use
bi-level on text only B&W pages. bi-level also works for diagrams
that consist only of line art without fine detail.
