That's useless. Any company who would put in their spec that their 2700 SPI scanner could reliably scan 53 lp/mm would be laughed at, and would be lying. I guess there is some other reason CDs have a sample rate of 44.1kHz...in order to reliably capture 20kHz. > A 4000-dpi scan results in a very > modest improvement, Modest? That's quite an amorphous term. I can easily distinguish between a scan of Delta 100, or even VPS160 at 2700 vs 4000. How old are you? Do you need glasses?
