Selecting A Flatbed Scanner

Entry-level Flatbed Scanners

There is, of course, a very low-end category of scanners for the home and office computing markets—often referred to as "consumer market" scanners. Pricing for these models, which is usually for reflective copy only, ranges from less than $100 to several hundred dollars. Although I have one on my desk and use it regularly for instructional purposes, these are not intended for professional print media.
