I have found that even fairly fine detail reproduces
okay with a 300
DPI scan ... there's no need in scanning with extraneous bit depth and
then you start to get people complaining about file sizes
I have found that one can generally have one's cake, and eat it too:
if I scan at 600dpi in black and white, and then use "CCITT Group 4"
compression, the resulting images (of prints) are ~200KB per page.
Is that small enough? :-)
