My scanner just died and rather than bothering fixxing it I decided to just get a new one. My previous scanner was the last thing I own that I needed Classic for.

Does anyone know of a scanner that has an OS X native software bundle. Prefferable a good one. Or does anyone know of a good scanner review site?

Hi aaronjf,

What kind of media where you scanning? And for wich kind of publishing you need it for?

For instance, is it for high quality prints?

8 x 10 photos mainly. Put it also has to be good a scanning product catalogues as most of the manufaturers we buy from have yet to produce images CDs or any kind of digital image bank.

you might want to try the microtek site, they have some good scanners - bundled with os x drivers and silverfast software.

Yeah, the one that I had that just died was a Microtek. I was really happy with its proformace, but they never updated the drives for the scanner I had.

Any other suggestion on scanners? And, has anyone every tried running 8 x 10 Photos through an auto document feeder on a scanner? Did it work with a flip?
