Device for improving the reproducibility of recordings, comprising: a guide device configured to guide at least one object in an object plane; at least one drive device configured to transport the object in the object plane in a transportation direction, an image plane; at least one contact image sensor having at least one light source for illuminating the object, a plurality of rod lenses which are arranged between the object plane and the image plane and in a row along a direction across the transportation direction of the object, and at least one light-sensitive line pixel array arranged in the image plane; a control device configured to control at least the light source and/or the light-sensitive line pixel array and to acquire a signal generated by the light-sensitive line pixel array, wherein a light emitted by the light source is, at least in part, scattered from the object towards the rod lenses, is imaged by means of the rod lenses and is incident on at least one region of the light-sensitive line pixel array, wherein the light-sensitive line pixel array comprises a plurality of one-dimensional line pixel arrays (7a, 7b), which each extend in the direction across the transportation direction of the object and are arranged parallel to one another and adjacently, wherein each line pixel array (7a, 7b) has a length across the transportation direction of the object which completely covers the object to be captured, and wherein the plurality of one-dimensional line pixel arrays (7a, 7b) comprise: - a first line of pixels of the same size, - a second line, adjacent thereto, of a repeating sequence of pixels with different pixel widths across the transportation direction, which comprises a pixel with the pixel width of two pixels of the first line, a pixel with the pixel width of one pixel of the first line, a pixel with the pixel width of one pixel of the first line and a pixel with the pixel width of two pixels of the first line and which overlaps six pixels of the first line, - a third line of pixels which comprises pixels with a width of three pixels of the first line, with the result that each of these overlap the following from the second line: a pixel with the pixel width of two pixels of the first line and a pixel with the pixel width of one pixel of the first line. a guide device configured to guide at least one object in an object plane;
