Hi.
I need to buy a scanner to upload some old family photos to cd then post to family who will get them printed at a shop. I was looking at an all in one which has a scan resoltion of 1200 x 2400. Is this good enough to keep the quality in a photo?
This is the one, epson dx 4850;

Any advice will be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Typically 300dpi is enough to get them reprinted, as that's the resolution they'll get printed at0

Thanks Ringo, I had no idea if this was good enough. I'll get this one ordered.0
