I have seen the film scanner that HP does sell the 20xpi It does handle
2700 dpi it is Only $500 or so.

That is why I am waiting to buy one right now as it is "ONLY" $500
Yes I have seen it in action and I will buy one shortly. Right after I
spend $1500 for my New MIG welder. That I am buying even before I get my
Airconditioning this year. It is supposed to hit 100 degree's tommorrow
It maybe dry heat but it is still hot when you look at 3 digits. Yes it
gets down to 70 at night so it is liveable.
