We found the PageScan's color definition adequate for bright colors, though the scanner produced some line patterns and artifacts that made the dark colors in our tests look dithered. Logitech is confident this problem will be fixed in the shipping version. Like most sheet-fed scanners, the Logitech PageScan won't cut it in a serious graphic production environment, but it produces colors better than any other scanner near its price range. The box might look bare, but the product offers the easiest install of any scanner we've tested. Plug one USB cable into the back of your PC, and Logitech's pagescan USB is ready to start spitting out good-looking color scans.
Dark colors look dithered.
Logitech's PageScan USB offers the simplest setup yet and decent scan quality to boot. 1999 ZD Inc. All rights reserved. ZDNet and the ZDNet logo are trademarks of ZD Inc.
