Hi guys,
why is it that the popular Epson V700 series scanners fail to deliver their claimed resolution of 6000+ dpi?
Why is it that flatbed scanners from the 1990s still deliver superior results?
Is it due to cheap optics?
Is the scanning array a cheap component?
If so, wouldn't it be possible to modify, i.e. "pimp", a stock scanner with higher-end components?
For example, if there would be a crowdfunded pimp my Epson 700 kit for say 1000-2000 USD that would lead to true optical 5000 dpi resolution over the entire flatbed ... wouldnt that be exciting?
Rodenstock or Schneider-Kreuznach would surely develop high res optics to spec if there was a substantial enough minimal order? Maybe 100k or 200k USD?
Kind regards
Paul
