Hi Shawn. i am still rather new to the whole photo thing, but i have been studying the digital aspect for some time now. you best best for scanning your negs would be to send 'em out, quality-wise. spend the extra on a good printing system. the epson, from what i've read, does a really nice job for portfolio type work. and definatley (as mentioned above) the quad ink system will give more agreeable images. for whats it worth, Jerry(posted 8820 days ago)
