I've never scanned at low resolution, but I think this is where your problem 
is.

If you scan at low resolution, you are asking the scanner to throw
away information. It better be pretty good software (there isn't any)
to figure out the right information to throw away.

So it just throws stuff away and you get a soft, unsaturated scan. But
that is what you asked for too, so ... everyone should be happy.

To get the best out of a scanner, you have to let it do it's best.
It's that simple.
