Hello,

I am looking for a scanner to scan my prints and share them in the web.

The paper size is 8x10 inches(20x25cm) of which the print size 16x16cm which are selenium toned.

Please recommend me a good scanner.

IMO most any flatbed scanner will do decently with prints. Negatives is a whole nuther thing, however. Canoscan 9000f works for me.

Any of Epson's flatbed photo scanners will work quite well with prints.

Are the prints clean or do they have wrinkles, tears, or creases etc?

All the prints are made new on FB paper.

If the prints are in good shape, I agree with Pioneer that any good Epson scanner will do fine. One thing though. If you plan on scanning negatives anytimne in the future, than certain scanners from Epson do both but not all.

I may either go with Epson V37 or Epson V370. Earlier I was thinking about Canoscan lide 210, but other are complaining that introduces strange vertical lines...
