So that brings me to the question - Should I buy a
nice scanner that
handles two sided and schematic prints?...I have so many things more I
could scan if I had something cost effective. That's the last time I do
the Kinkos thing. I prefer to do this kind of work on my own.
I occasionally have to scan B-size (11x17 inch) drawings, and the cheapest
scanner I know of that can do that is the HP OfficeJet Pro 7740 all-in-one,
which is also a B-size inkjet printer. It costs about $250 retail, but can
sometimes be found for $200.
The scanner only does a single side, so you have to flip the page over
manuall. There is a sheet feeder for A-size and similar only; for B-size
you have to use it as a flatbed.
If you need a sheet-fed duplex scanner for B-size, expect to spend a pretty
good chunk of change even for a used one.
