What is the best way to scan logos and photographs?
Line Art Line Art may include black and white text, logos, or clip-art images. To ensure image quality, it is important that line art be scanned at a higher resolution than what is required for photographs. We recommend that line art be scanned at a minimum of 600 dpi at actual finish size, but better results can be achieved by scanning at 1200 dpi. Photographs Photographs should be scanned as grayscale images, and they need to be scanned separately from line art. We recommend that photographs be scanned at a minimum of 300 dpi and saved as grayscale. If an image needs to be enlarged, it should not be scanned at its original size and then enlarged. When this is done, resolution and image quality are poor. Scan the image at 100% or more of the intended enlarged size. For example, if the image is an inch wide and it needs to be three inches, scan at 300%. It’s always better to scan too large than to scan too small.
