The End of the Road?

New year, like most of us a lot of time looking forward and some looking back. "Do you remember when?' sort of thing. One of those phrases bought me up with a start. Our Kodak s1220 is around four years old and despite that I still think of it as new. I hate to think how many images it has created for 1Scan, our photo scanning service. I'm pleased to say it is wearing well, still delivering stirling service. A few little quirks, just like any old friend, but overall a very happy working relationship. High volume photo scanning is firmly established as a major element of our product portfolio with no reason to think the next couple of years will be any different. We're ramping up the investment in our website and the Google Adwords campaign. So, do we soldier on with this scanner, with a performance profile developed five years ago, or move ahead with a new scanner? Whatever the route our leading scanner will have a Kodak badge. Nothing else has hit the market which will touch the Kodak range. As I see it we have three options. First, stick with the s1220. Second get a new version of this scanner. Third, get a new scanner with the upgraded spec offered by the improved version in the range. This box is faster, has a bigger / better hopper, has better software. Time for a bit of head scratching.
