    Scanner for BW prints

    All my work is printed on baryt paper and now I would like to scan the final prints to share them.

    I am ignorant about the sanners, threfore I need advices to choose the model that can do the job without wasting money.

    The epson V700 is an option, but is it the best one considering the ratio results/investment ?

    Pretty much any scanner will scan prints well. The main thing will be your print sizes and the platen size of the scanner. As long as the prints fit on the platen, you should be fine. A v700 will do a fine job, but you'd be paying quite a bit for it's film scanning ability. If you might do some LF film scanning down the line, then it would be a great choice.

    Thank for your answer Peter.
    No, I don't think I will scan and treat my negatives because I greatly appreciate the
    manipulations in the darkroom. Then, you confirm what I suspected, the V700 is a good choice but a little bit too powerfull (and expensive) for my needs.

    Most of my prints are made on 24X30cm paper for an effective image size of 18X24cm.
