is it easy to copy an image from a thick bound book? I'm trying to figure out how big of an image I can copy and then project onto the wall...

A shap 5x7 image can be blown up to a half wall mural you can go bigger but have to imagine parts. Hope this helps

I made a pdf copy of it. Send me an email at bbrand_ca [at] yahoo.com and I'll send it to you. The quality of the image is not that great.

Yes.....I made photo copies of pictures and then transferred them onto a picture frame mats....worked awsome. Hopefully that helps :)

I bought it for transfering my old pictures on to a drive and it worked prefectly.. Some of the pictures were very thick and it still transfered them. I can't see why it wouldn't work on sheets of paper of pages from a book.

I think copying was a feature this unit does. Anything that scans of course can copy the image. I would read the product description for sure and reference the cannon website if you're unsure about purchasing this unit. I ended up buying this locally, as first shipment was lost, and I really don't use it, my girlfriend does and it serves her purpose well. It was a bit involved to set up, not super long, but since we have a home network its slightly more involved than just plugging it in. This unit was larger than I expected in person so make sure you have some space. Very nice sleek look and so far has worked like a charm. Good luck to you!

My black and white negatives were pretty big when converted. I used Windows photo manager (edit button gives you several options for improving your pictures) to compress the file size. Worked great for me!

I have scanned books, but do not remove the cover. I would not advice removing the cover. You could use your digital camera and take a picture of the page, then open the jpeg picture in Paint and cut our the page and resize the image and save back into jpeg format. You can also call up FILE and then PRINT and then PAGE SETUP and make sure you are on letter size either with half inch borders or changing the border sizes. I have scanned several books and just found that move the book around on the scan if you need to cut off blank sections like the top or bottom and even the sides to make it fit works for me. But, I would not remove the cover.

I would say that this is not a high tech machine . In my experience I was disappointed that it couldn't even copy the slide, much less get a three D image.

Yes: the printed image goes to the edge of the paper. But, you can reduce the size without losing much information, proportionally: it's huge.

I have put manga on there and, frankly, I'm delighted. It depends on how word intensive your comic is, though. My first try was really a perfect fit, and only occasionally did I have to zoom in to read a word. For a two page layout, I simply flipped the layout to horizontal. My second manga's words were smaller, and I did find myself zooming in more often--a slight annoyance, yes--but after doing so I could read the print. The pictures were perfectly fine. No complaints there. Your battery life will be shorter, though (for your .jpgs, at least). For the record, all my mangas were in .jpg format. I can't speak to how .pdf will work.

Hello - No, you can't print directly from Photoshop. I just tried. It doesn't allow me to select the CD/DVD tray in the "SOURCE" option and the CD/DVD options are grayed out in the "MEDIA TYPE" area. So, you would have to export the image, open it in the Print CD application, and print from there. Sorry!

send it to your email. Depending on your printer and the size of the picture, you can...however, it will be grainy the more you enlarge it.

Yes -- you can scan from a book by opening the cover and laying the book on the glass. Like most book scans or copies, the binding makes one edge of the page a little distorted and blurry since the binding prevents the book page from laying flat on the glass. It will vary from book to book, but my experience has been that the pages are legible though not pretty. If you're willing to share your email, I'd be happy to send you a pdf sample of a book scan; I don't think I can attach it here.

nah, like every one else said no optical zoom unfortunately. there is digital zoom, but take my advice and don't rely on that! the digital zoom will crop the picture to make it fit. which makes it somewhat of a double-edged sword: yes it'll fit, but you'll lose bits of the image.the best thing you can do if you're wondering about fitting it to a wall or where it'll have to go is make sure you get you're distances right cause that'll really simplify things. you've probably heard this a million times already, but they don't call it a short throw projector for nothing!

I assume you mean a print image. Haven't done that. Can't tell you for certain. However, it will create a 7200 dpi image and creates very large .tiff files. If I recall they're around 20M+.

Any photo you have can be printed to the DVD in full color. They can be cropped, enlarged or reduced in size, just as if you were doing any other print job using paper media.

Cheaper & easier... put saran wrap or tissue paper on the sticky backs of the picture. Worked for me.
