Alright, my scanner is toying with me. I did some test scans to demonstrate the difference between the guide and card scans. But it does not do it anymore... There is still some distortion in the page image compared to the one on the card, but not nearly as bad as before. I'm glad I checked, because this changes everything for me.

It leaves streaks in the pictures. I tried scanning the Pokemon Battle Revolution guide a few years ago when I first got it and if left streaks in the images of the Pokemon that are not present in the physical guide.

Funny enough, that's exactly what I have currently. I use it for scanning photos and trading cards. But it does not seem to do well with magazine pages. I may try it again now that it's been praised though. I would miss mine too if it croaked...

I don't have anything right now, my priorities changed since I started this thread, but I will keep you in mind, thanks!

That's why I started this thread. I know nothing about scanners. And I hate comparing products (my friend had to pick out my own laptop for me because I couldn't). So, every time I go to look at scanners online, I quit after a few minutes. Honestly, when I started this thread, I was hoping to get responses along the lines of "this is what I use and it works great!" But, if it's not that, I get discouraged easily and don't look into it any further.

I didn't. My priorities have changed since I started this thread. I still check it for responses, as I am still interested in scanning for this site in the future but have not gotten anything new yet. I do have a CanoScan 9000F Mark II flatbed that I use for scanning pictures, but I have not used it for RM. And it is kind of old.

Thank you! At the moment I don't, my priorities have changed since I started this thread, but when I get back around to this, I will!

Thanks for all the info! I already have a flatbed scanner, so my only issue is space.

I'm willing to spend a little more on it. I have a scanner, but it's only really good for pictures, it does not scan print well. It does text alright, but it leaves a lot of streak lines on printed images from books, as I tried scanning strategy guides with it before. I really would like to try and contribute to this site by scanning, but I just want to do it right and not waste money on a scanner that's not going to work.
