Selecting A Flatbed Scanner

In the past, scanners in this entry-level category handled only reflective copy and had noticeably lower bit depth, interpolated resolutions, and software capabilities than those in the more expensive midrange. But these limitations have now been passed down to the consumer line of scanners. Entry-level models now boast some specifications that rival models with price tags 10 or even 20 times greater—hence the reduced significance of some specs, such as bit depth and interpolated resolution.
