Thanks, CK. I am refering to film scanner, HP S20. 8 x 12", that's about A4 size, meaning that no need to buy a A3 printer then.
Anyone has review/comments on the HP S20 scanner?

The S20 is pretty good. With it you could have print A3 size prints from an Epson printer. I have the S20 and an (now) ancient EX, have done prints of close to A3 size which look good enough at correct viewing distance but not at 5 to 6 inches. The current output from Epic blows inkjet output out of water.
Some thumb rules on Epson is that you could get a workable print based on as low as 175 dpi on out put size. A interesting personal observation should you be able to get enough scan in resolution to print at 450 dpi - there is an small but signigificant improvement on the EX in terms of colour tone and appeared sharpness.
Unless cost is a consideration, the new batches of scanners out there probably produce better results than the S20. For a cost to perfromance point it may win out. Not sure since my info on cost and models out there is not current.

Supposedly not a bad scanner for its price. Haven't seen its actual output. Ian uses the predecessor of it, the 5100, and while he can pull off great scans out of it, I am still struggling. ;p

erwinx - you are describing what is common to all ccd scanners. It just that some have better ways to mask this from you. Even the Imacon has this problem. Do not know if the major ex scanners from Sictex ect with active cool can reduce the noise problem to drum scan levels.
