Scanning The Pan-American Exposition Issue

I completely agree, the depth in the colors are fantastic.

Thanks stallzer- Done!

You have inspired me to complete this set. I need only Scott #298 to do it.

Here's the one I have.

Scanner Epson 3490 pro mode @1200dpi all image filters disabled.
Using Win7 as I can't obtain a decent image in OSX.

Thanks stallzer. So are you going to get a Standalone scanner now?

@AnthonyUK, your scan is very similar to mine which makes sense since
there isn't much difference between the Epson 3490 and 4490 are

Actually yours is more true to colour and a bit sharper.
I have noticed that Flickr images have a bit more contrast than
Photobucket but I still prefer the latter becuase I find it easier to use.

Here is an example of the variance between the two image hosting services.
Same scan but different results.
Flickr train appears a bit sharper and the border is a slightly deeper red.

Not at the moment. I actually still need an all in one due to limited desk space, and with Children in School I still need a printer. Not to mention that mine still works very well. Also, I do no editing or enhancing of the images and I scan them as documents instead of Photos which does not give me the color enhancements. I do this only because it's quicker.

Maybe tonight I'll play with some color enhancements to a deeper level.
