Nah, it's only bad if you try sticking a 32" CRT behemoth on a dinky wee single A4 scanner! ;) If you don't have access to a laptop to scan from, you can always just invert the setup - mount your monitor on its back, then place the scanner face down on top. I did this for an Orange campaign back in '02, to good effect. It's worth it in the end.
One other thing to watch out for is the input brightness - probably a bit obvious if you're even half aware of how computers work - but obviously you might need to consider reducing the input threshold. Sorry, don't think I'm talking down to you here.. just covering the basics! Mind you, this is more an issue on the older series Canon scanners (my current 2 year old one is ok though).
- Input wha?! Scanning a monitor is very new to me...coolhipNgroovy
- i see you're really serious about this...********
- but yeah reducing monitor brightness makes sense********
- Don't worry about it - if, when you scan, the output is too white - change the brightness setting in your scan softwaredetritus
- or, as corvo says - the monitor's output brightness (though, this can make it look very grey, at least in my experience)detritus
