Please log in for more thread options Agree to scan at lowest (acceptable TO YOU) resolution.
I have my scanner set to 100 dpi and B&W documents (not color). I arrived at
that size after trying out several different sizes higher and lower. At 100
dpi the images are sometimes fuzzy, but I can read them and print out quite
legibly, so I am comfortable having those images available for reference,
disputes, or whatever.
The files were smaller at 50 dpi, but I couldn't be certain of consistent
legibility.
