Scanning technology is very good.  The best approach is to scan the 
artwork and then have the service bureau regenerate it to what is 
know as "CAD Data".  This will give you the cleanest gerber data set 
possible.  Errors are possible at this stage as it is largely a human 
interactive process,  but choosing a good vendor, most will 
guarantee their work, will provide you with excellent results.

We have used the following companies with excellent results.
