Does that mean that CCD scanners are bad?
A. No. Not at all. In fact, I have two other CCD scanners from two different manufacturers (one is the “virtual drum” type) that I use for lower resolution, less critical tasks such as making “contact sheets” and for putting images on the website. But, it is clear from my own years of experience as well as from independent testing that the best CCD scanners have lower resolution and lower maximum density ratings than even medium-grade drum scanners.
