17:00:15Chadm1nIt does appear to be rather idle these days.
06:05:39RobNot dead.... just a little sleepy. Lots of good info on the archives and we'll be adding more from time to time. What can I say... we all get busy right? But this site will always be here as a resource to those who can use it.

I've got a new job that has me on the road a lot.  It's been extremely difficult to work on my comic in hotel rooms.  I've resorted to taking digital photos on my sketches and uploading them to Photoshop.  Does anyone out there know of an affordable and portable scanner.  Resolution or whatnot is unimportant; the scanned penciled art is going to be inked over in Photoshop.

I have to admit this looks pretty cool:

And you can get a certified refurbished portable model for $99. Not bad.

I think my sister has one similar to that (a little bar that feeds through). though I can't remember the brand  Roll Eyes
At any rate, she told me in the past that she was very satisfied with it. She totes it around in her laptop case every time she travels for work.

What's your definition of portable?

If you're after something bigger than a hand-held scanner, I'd recommend something like a CanoScan Lide 200. I just picked one up myself the other week to replace my old Lide 60 (That old thing just REFUSED to work with 64-bit Windows 7... Grrr).

It's a flatbed scanner, but very light and host-powered (i.e. no A/C power needed, voltage comes through the USB cable!). Definitely something you could get away trundling around with in a small carry-on suitcase.

We have them for about $160 AUD here in Australia.
