    Re: Problems with Howtek d4000, please help!

    Bruce is probably right. This could also be the result of very bad voltage regulation.

    Not correct math.

    I use 2666 for 8x10, that's 26,660 pixels for the 10 inch edge and 21,328 for the 8 inch edge. It comes out to about 3 gigs in 16 bit RGB. If I wanted to convert to B&W, it...
