I already had an old Epson Perfection 1260. My first external scanner. Also, a Brother B+W laser printer. But when I saw the HP OfficeJet 7612 with a scanner fit for 11 x 17 art boards - a longtime standard of North American comic books - at what was then a halfway tolerable price for a seasonal temp office-worker, I had to get it. The colour ink issues were secondary to getting that scanner. The Epson device will only let me scan those art boards in segments and paste-up time in PhotoPaint or Photoshop is a pain.
If there's a hack for getting access to the scanner despite the ink issues, I should start looking for it.
