A while back I went to a copy shop to scan the paper patterns for the cross stitch kits I have (I use an app on my iPad to mark my stitches instead of messing around with markers or pencils).
The quality if fairly good, but once you zoom in the symbols get fuzzy. They don't get illegible and the app is still able to read the symbols. But it's a kit that'll take me 200 to 300 hours to make and it's just annoying having to deal with fuzzy symbols all that time.
So I just emailed a professional copy shop (mostly used by businesses and students to get their essays/thesis bound). I know they have self service scanners/printers/copiers but I hope they also offer the service to have documents scanned by them in a higher quality.
Scanning it myself isn't an option; most patterns that come with kits are A3 sized (or a bit bigger) and those scanners are not only huge but also extremely expensive.
