1680
2001-12-17 by Julian Thomas
Martin asked me about the1680 - I've been scanning a really tough neg today (so far 5 hours just on one print agggghhhhh) and I've made some discoveries. I emailed Ed about how Vuescan supports the 1680 at 3200 and he replied that the 3200 res is uninterpolated in one direction only (X), but a true 3200 in the other direction - the epson spec is 1600x3200. I've also been scanning BW at 48bit RGB and then converting on the green channel (thanks Steve and Tim!) and this also increased detail - slightly but enough to make a difference. So you can use this machine as a compromised 3200 scanner.
