that could also support PC's.)  We need reasonably high resolution -
256 gray scale - but will be printing on a laserprinter rather than
a type setter.

We want both graphic scanning and the ability to add software to add
OCR.

We are considering a system from Microtek that offers both gray scale
and color.  I would appreciate any feedback that scanner users have on
the function in general and on specific scanners and software.

The articles I have read sound as if attempting color scanning is 
best left to graphic professionals since a great deal of expertise appears
to be required.  Additionally color scan images appear to take enormous
amounts of disk - one scanner at full resolution was said to create a 75 meg
file.

Does anyone have any color scanning experience?

Thanks
