With some easy setup and configuring of settings, you can create detailed images that let everyone appreciate every brushstroke. See below for our rundown of several scanners, from the high-end to more affordable options.

Highest Resolution Scanner
Canon CanoScan Lide 700f<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This scanner delivers an incredibly high level of resolution, with some advanced features that could make scanning easier for artists working at large volumes. It also does some of the work for you: Auto Scan Mode detects what it is you’re scanning and adjusts the settings accordingly, and Auto Document Fix automatically employs area-by-area correction for beautiful, easy-to-view scans. One caveat: Make sure your operating system has the proper driver before buying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
