Printers & Scanners

Paying more should get you faster scans and better quality

The 4890's 4,800x9,600dpi resolution and multiple-format film scanningabilities mean you're getting high-end specs at a mid-range price tag.But do these specs translate into performance?

Will its resolution and pedigree translate into top scans?

A clever film-loading system isn't its only selling point

The LIDE 60 uses a Contact Image Sensor (CIS) scanning head, as opposedto a conventional mirror/lens/ CCD system. In the past this type ofscanner has been seen as a technically inferior solution

Staggering resolution for a mid-price flatbed model

Scan up to three frames of film in one pass of the scanhead

Slim as a supermodel, with a sharp image to match

Quick off the draw, but with a compromised result

Good resolution and a good set of quick-launch buttons
