Before
After
Here's a sample of what the Mustek
12" x 17" scanner can do.  It does
really scan at 11.7" x 17 - so a
fraction of your layout is left out - I
haven't really been able to notice
the difference.  Many of the
complaints against it was that the
scan is not vivid.  I see that when I
scan - (see the Before picture).  But,
before I considered taking it back - I
pulled up the scanned image in my
photo software (I have Dell Image
Expert- premium edition - but I
believe my PhotoShop Elements 4.0
would do the trick, too) and hit
"quickfix".  It only took a second
and the After picture was everything
I could hope for.  The image is still a
pretty big file - so it must have some
pixels in it (it scans at 600 dpi).  It
presently sits at 2393 x 2332 or
15.9MB.
