Portable scanners What the media say
A large number of the portable scanners market is made up of people who simply want to scan photos into their computer, from where it can be retouched, duplicated, stored, saved, and any one of the many other things you can do with digitized data. For these purposes, you will probably want a scanner that can scan images at upwards of 1200dpi or more. This resolution will allow you to use your portable scanners as an essential component to a mobile graphics studio, or at the very least, allow you to capture images with great clarity for later editing back at your studio. A particularly useful feature that many portable scanners come with nowadays is optical character recognition technology, which essentially allows you to capture information that is printed on business cards, flyers and brochures, and stores them in a format that you can then later edit. With such a feature, you wont actually have to carry around all of those business cards that have a way of multiplying like so much fungi.
