The prints have a slightly matte finish to them so I had to turn on descreening to get rid of the noise that created, but otherwise I didn&#8217;t fiddle with the settings much.

It took me forever to figure out that was how I could get out of the scanning for morons mode.  Other than that it&#8217;s pretty good.  It came with a transparency adapter for slides and negatives but I haven&#8217;t tried that out yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new Microtek ScanMaker i320 scanner that I got today is really very nice.
