Is the lighting splashed evenly on the scanned material? I sometimes put text scans through a Photoshop script that depend on the page been evenly lit

Yes. That has been my experience. Quality is not superior but decent. This is an affordable scanner for the masses. I recommend this highly IF you intend to use this for scanning large documents and books. I use my older Fujitsu ScanSnap 1500M if I want to scan regular size documents, receipts, business cards since the quality is superior. Hope this helps.

It could be that there was too much light when the pictures were taken. I used the film to capture photos during a friend's vintage themed wedding. The photos taken in the sunlight did not come out as well as the ones taken inside.

The scanner once set up seems to get gorgeous and correct color. I do not do much to any adjusting except to clean up whites - because it can scan tiny lines and blemishes on my drawings.

We wonder if there is a spot on your scans. If so, please use the brush coming with the product and clean the "scan mirror" from the bottom. Our customer service just contacted you to offer help. Please pay attention to your mail box.

I don't believe it matters where the image is printed from. The image is copied with light onto a light sensitive sheet. Unfortunately I was never able to get past applying the imulsion sheet to the screen so i could transfer an image. I would not recommend this product.

I typically use photos of documents for my text conversions and I find the quality of the table scan depends depends on the quality of the photo input. if the photo is slightly out of focus the ocr output is poor. A scanner should be better quality than some photos so it should work.

Yes. I do it all the time. Just scanned in an 8 page document last night. That has more to do with software than the hardware and the software that comes with the scanner works well.

The color rendition is accurate for all forms of graphic usage. The better question would be does your Book Cover Design printer acurately reproduce your images.

You can also manually scan double-sided pages. The software leads you through the process. Very easy to do.

At an estimated 200 dpi and up (it doesn't actually let you know how high it goes, another limitation as far as I'm concerned), it actually scans at a moderate rate, not too fast and not too slow. Trouble is, I've relied on it for for crisp scans at 200 dpi and up, and it just doesn't do it very well. It wouldn't bother me if the sources were not the greatest resolution to start with, but they are, and the scanner just doesn't do them justice even at the highest resolution.

Yes, the writing is clear when written on paper. Since the light attached to pen is mini backlight, I am sure it is visible under any black light but don't quote me on it. I have 5 pens left and probably won't use them and it'll go to waste, I could send you two to sample if you are interested.

No, it only scans pictures, and I guess any paper also. All of the jpegs that I've gotten off of my machine have been dark, so I tend to only scan the pictures that have lots of light in them. Others I use a Kodak that I love, but it has the issue of lines showing on the picture.

If it's not affecting the picture I wouldn't worry about it. I haven't noticed it on mine. The only bright area is around the edges when I have the brightness up.

Yes. I have found that it really doesn't matter for me. When the light shines through you still get the image of the bamboo on the non-printed side. I really like this screen. I am using it to close off our office from the rest of the upstairs when I don't want anyone to see into it or I am working at night and don't want the light to bother others.

I've used it for extensive scanning and it does extremely well -- it's also very fast. Some people that complain about scans being too light apparently fail to realize they need to adjust the scan sensitivity, called the threshold level; this is accomplished using the provided scanning software called MF Toolbox. That level can be adjusted from 0 to 256, with higher numbers resulting in darker scans. It defaults to 128 (mid-range), which can result in a scan that is too light.

Not very...light comes through, but you can't see anything other than a shadow. The paper is a bit thicker than the typical shōji screen.

Unsure, maybe the website has that information. I have scanned photos onto glossy and matte paper with excellent results
