What is enough?
I'm thinking of buying a multi function thingy, and I kind of like the Epsons. Question is, is the cheaper one good enough? The cost difference for the higher res is quite a bit. Here are the rough specs:
Cheaper one (CX3100) scan @ 600 X 1200, print @ 1200 X 5700 (enhanced).
More exxy one (nearly twice the price) scan @ 1200 X 2400, print @ 2400 X 5700.
It's all in colour (inkjet) and they both do borderless photo printing. What are your opinions? Is it worth extra dosh to get the higher res or is the cheapy good enough? The pricey one has 4 ink tanks, the 3100 has only 2. The pricey also comes with card readers, but I think I'd rather upload pics to the PC from the camera and check them out in photoshop before printing.
I rarely print photos, and it's even more seldom that I would want to scan them. It is, however, possible that I might want to at some stage, and I may one day want to scan a slide in or something, but I suppose I could always get that done elsewhere.
