I need to print some very high quality scans of pictures I have for an art magazine, laser or inkjet?
What should I look for? I need to scan and print some art images to submit for my producers. Some of the art has very fine lines close together. Most of them are sketches and drawings using pencils and pen on paper with not much color used. Some of it is also water paintings done by local artists. I want to capture color and just as importantly, detail. When the sketch prints out, it's important that if a magnifying glass is used, there shouldn't be much, if any at all, detail loss. As far as scanners go, I assume I just look for high resolution capability? Cost is somewhat important as well, I'm trying to stay within the $500 budget range. Thank you everyone in advance.
What's best for micro printing? Anything that can print micro text or numbers should be fine capturing the details of the art. Colors should match up well too of course.
Inkjets have a potentiall higher resolution than most desktop color lasers.
If the publisher does not want the digital file, then your best bet would be to take the files to a high end service provider to make glicee prints or some other process.
