Well I recently put my money down on a Scanwit following Tom's comments about
them (despite the fact that he ended up sending his back I think)
I've been happy with mine, although I've only done prints to A4 size so far,
and I can't afford a new printer at the moment (had a few little Scalian
episodes of my own recently, 7 cameras, 3 lenses and 2 winders in 3 weeks).
For a good review of the Acer try www.photoscientia.co.uk/Review.htm
Hope this helps
