Digital BW, The Print

Hi Ernst,
    Thanks for the link. Looking over the results and the software used with each scanner, it appears that the operator has a lot to do with the results.
    I will primarily be doing B&W and I have seen the results from the Nikon 8000 and 9000 scanners. They appear have great difficulty. However, my Minolta 5400, that is not a problem. Both the Minolta and Microtek scanners use cold cathode lighting where as Nikon use led as a light source.

Cheers,

Bob Rapp

  You could check the resolution results on scanner bake-off:

  The mentioned Microteks are somewhere in the middle or below 
  in the 2004 bake-off.
