Hi,
I spent a few hours last night playing with different
scanning options and figured I would share my observations.
Bottom line: the 100KB B&W TIFF was much better
looking
than even the 530KB JPEG. And the 250KB B&W TIFF was so
"fine" that I suspect it is overkill (I doubt anyone or
anyTHING -- i.e. software -- could discriminate between
that at 800dpi and the 400dpi version).
So, to answer *my* initial question (ages ago), 400dpi C4 TIFFs
are definitely "adequate". 800dpi are overkill. And, at
~100KB per page, they are quite "affordable".
I'm glad that you found out, what most people who really scan b&w
text&schematics knew all the time ;-)
And please, not another discussion about jpeg & b&w scans again.
The last BS about it is barely weeks ago ...
