Selecting A Flatbed Scanner

For instance, it doesn't cost a manufacturer much to incorporate software enhancements (initially intended for high-end machines) into entry-level or midrange models (ie. pixel depth). In a similar fashion large "interpolated" resolutions—such as 7,200 ppi on the entry-level LinoScan 1200 , or 9,200 ppi on the PowerLook III ($1800)—can make it seem as though a $1,200 or an $1,800 scanner is more or less equivalent to a $15,000 or even a $50,000 scanner.
