I recently noticed just how high the resolution is getting on the
latest scanners. Epson has scanners various scanners in the $450-800
range that do the following resolutions 6400x6400, 6400x9600, and
4800x6400 Optical DPI.
The $800 V750-M Pro seems especially suited to Microfiche as it looks
like it can handle up to 8x10" film at up to 6400x9600, with the
correct orientation of the fiche being scanned I think that would
allow between 150-200dpi per page. It even supports Firewire as well
as USB.
Has anyone had the chance to see if these newer scanners can handle fiche?
