Tom Limoncelli ably answered many of your questions...here's some additional
information:

1. Resolution

Keep in mind that 300 DPI at 24 bits-per-pixel is more than enough resolution
to drive a 2540 DPI phototypesetter. In fact, it's much more than enough.

3. Scan size

The JX-450 color scanner is an 11 by 17 inch flat bed. The JX-300 is an
8.5 by 11 inch flat bed.

4. Number of colors

Both devices deliver 16.7 million colors. Our software manipulates the data
at its full precision. A program called RESEP allows Professional Page to use
16.7 million color separations.

5. Price

JX-450 is $6995. The JX-300 is $3995. Our interface and software is $995.
RESEP is $60. 

6. European availability.

Yes. Contact ASDG UK at 923 817548 in the U.K., Contact Compustore
at 69 567399 in W. Germany.

Alternatives?

Not really.
