Quoted from Sonora70:

Moving forward. The past couple of days I've been researching scanners..... Over the past week I have seen 1 hp 4600 sell on the auction site for $65 including shipping and 1 hp 4670 that is still in process. Apparently these are the only scanners of their type other than the Doxie Flip which only scans picture size areas. I really don't want to get in a bidding war on technology that isn't made anymore. Short of flipping my playfield upside down on my regular scanner I'm investigating some other options. Other options are certainly welcome if anyone knows of one.

Hi Sonora70

I bought my scanner a HP 4670 scanner from eBay and use it a bunch, frankly what more technology is needed? It lies flat on the items to be scanned so scans without error, I copy the TIFF file at 300 DPI (1) and bring into what ever program I need. Stitches multiple files with the original software if needed.

It is pot luck on the quality I agree, I guess I lucked out and recommend you go that route.

Cost nor technology really doesn't come into the equation when bidding on eBay for this old but perfect scanner. Worst that can happen is you may need to return if it doesn't work, then buy another one until you are happy.

Quoted from polyacanthus:

T....Also, most people don't realize there are two sandpaper grading systems, FEPA and CAMI that are different like US and metric. FEPA grades start with a P. So 800 and P800 are VERY different! Annoying both types are commonly available. So if you sand with 600 followed by P800 you picked up at a different store you will be going backwards!

I did not know that. Oh heck.
