Leslie,
I have the P2000. They are just great for producing your own prints. I print on the 13' x 19" watercolor sheets and they turn out wonderfully.
I have done the following to get my art into electronic form - these are in order of final print quality:
1. Get a 4" x 5" transparency shot of the painting, then have the lab scan the transparency into the computer and give you a TIF file. You pull it into Photoshop and modify it to your tastes.
2. Scan the art directly using a large-format flatbed scanner. This is usually limited to paintings smaller than around 12" x 18".
3. Shoot with a high-quality high-resolution digital camera. I find that this works just great for websites, etc. but the prints are a little grainy. I have a 3.34 MP camera and there are certainly better out there - 5MP+ that might do a better job.
