back with a “solution” and some big news
Ok, so I’ve hooked up Amy’s printer/scanner which she is storing here over the summer. The scanner sort of sucks though (sorry, Amy, I still love you). Every time I scan something in, it comes out super fuzzy, so I have to up the threshold to outrageous levels, and that creates another set of problems. But whatever, it’s a scanner, and with enough tweaking it works for what I need it for.
I am going to get a new scanner for myself though. I’m looking at getting a Mustek ScanExpress A3 USB 1200 Pro. If I HAD the money I’d get one of the nicer models, but those range around two-grand, and I’d get a new computer before I’d get a scanner that costs that much. Out of all large format scanners, this one is the cheapest at under 200 bucks. Has anyone used this scanner before? Is it good for what it is? Should I just save my money? Does is work with Macs??? I need to know!
Oh, AND THE BIG NEWS! Ever since I have access to a scanner now, I’m going to be posting two to three inkdicks up EVERYDAY until I am all caught up, so check back everyday please and click the back buttons to make sure you catch every comic that goes up.

Okay so you clearly just fail at using my scanner…it works wonderfully for me. Don’t blame the scanner, blame yo’ self!
And yes, Mustek scanners are Mac-compatible, but sometimes you have to download a driver from their site if it doesn’t come with the software.

the a3 mustek isn’t compatible with OSX though!!! They never made any drivers for it
(I know. I have it.)
