Money saving hint: When purchasing the Evolution scanners you can place them on a table instead of purchasing a stand. Since they are front feed the sheets will neatly stack on the table as they are fed through.
Most important consideration: For scanning engineering drawings, make sure your scanner has at least 300 dpi true optical resolution, 400 is even better.
Did you know that some color scanners can cost less than black and white if you make the right choice? See our color scanners.
