Re: larger flatbed scanners?

[Jack Winberg <jwinberg1@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi William:

I scan sheet music a lot, and usually use the reduction function to 
encompass the large size of some music.  It is still highly legible for 
reading purposes.  There are inkjet engine copiers out (HP, Lexmark, etc.) 
which work VERY well for this purpose, and priced about $250.

Another solution is to use a digital camera to copy, works fine.
