Thanks. I'll try your ideas, they seem quite sound. If I get it to work well, or if I find out something useful, I'll certainly post it here.
Incidently, I've used an "Epson Stylus Color 600" inkjet printer and DOS-based PCB software (Ranger1) at home to do PCB artwork with some success. It needed genuine Epson inks & transparencies to work properly, and I got a decent contrast, but it doesn't do tracks between IC pins that well due to slightly fuzzy edges. I've tried the same within windows but it hasn't worked. The resulting PCBs look quite good if the designs are within its resolution.

The PDF link doesn't work, but I will visit the site.
I tried twice to get my machine to scan an object, each scan taking about 5 hours, only to find out at the end that it wont save the data. My software has other problems too. So fast and reliable software would be most welcome, but I have no control over the budget!
My boss
may be interested in reliable software or a camera if it can do quick scanning (a map of surface heights), but not a new CNC machine.
