Digital BW, The Print

I've heard on more than one occasion that the new Creo Scitek flatbeds
are now being made my Microtek. I have one of the really old ones and
the optics on that one are extremely sharp and precise. There is far
more to a flatbed than dpi and dynamic range. Would be interesting to
know more about what Microtek is doing in the new models they're making.
