Thanks to our online jury test participants , we were able to determine the best scanner for Web content producers. We also timed the scanners to test their ability to support a demanding production schedule. Bold type denotes first place.
Low scores are best.
High scores are best. We timed the scanners' prescan and fine-scan times. There is a myth that if you just need to produce images presentable over the Internet, you can get away with using a bargain-basement scanner. Our jury's large size helped us gauge these units accurately. We observed this consistency despite the wide variety of viewing conditions likely to exist on our jurors' PCs.
