The image you output to the printer is a result of both the scanner's capture capabilities and the use of image editing software to prepare it for printing. The better scanner will capture more detail in transparencies due to its greater DMax. Preparing that image for best results in printing depends upon you, not the scanner. >2) Anyone heard of any performance/compatibility issues >for the LS2000 running on OS9, which is the operating >system on the Power Mac G4? Be sure you're using the SCSI interface card that Nikon recommends, that's the only caveat. I've heard of the LS2000 working with other cards but why not set the machine up for the best possible results? Godfrey
