I actually returned this item and bought the Wolverine FD20. The Jumbl product did not produce very good results; the insert for the film is a clear acrylic and was scratched within a couple dozen scans. I am very happy with the Wolverine FD20, the negative adapter is "open" so there is no defect on the scan. As with all film scanners you must remove dust particles before inserting. Buy the Wolverine you will be much happier. Hope this helps.

I just checked a slide and it scanned at 3072x4608 pixels. I have been very pleased with the resolution.

For some reason I got an email of this question, I bought the 4000 dpi version and you can't set it like you asked. I did read the 4000 has less options in the software that comes with it compared to the more expensive higher dpi versions. Probably doesn't help but the best I can do.

Make sure you set it up properly...what you select affects the scan shape/area size.

The scanning quality is good, depending on your setting. Scanning for "professional printing" is a little vague because you didn't mention size or the type of artwork. I have not been unhappy with any of the functions.

From what I understand... Nothing. One may have a slightly higher DPI but nothing that a normal user would notice.

According to Consumer Reports tests in fall 2014, scan quality is superior. The product specs say scanning optical Resolution is 2400 dpi, hardware resolution is1200 x 2400 dpi, maximum resolution 9600 x 9600 dpi interpolated, scanner bit depth is 48-bit color input/ 24-bit color output.

The product specification says the image resolution is selectable: Low = 300 DPI, Medium = 600 DPI, and High = 900 DPI.

Thanks for the extra information, interesting about the rectangular pixels. This seems like a much bigger project than I thought it was going to be. I tried a lot of resolutions and found one that appears to leave only one column of pixels on the right side unused. It's 430x222. Funny how a single digit can make a significant difference.

I've had no problems with poor quality scanned photos. The default is set to 300dpi, have you tried increasing it to 600dpi? That's what I always use and that works for me. I believe the max is 1200dpi. You may want to play around with that setting and see. Also don't be fooled by the scan preview, it's not an exact representation of what the scanned photo/doc will look. Hope that helps.

I use it for fine art scanning. It works great. But you have to open the scanning toolbox and set the scanning PPI to 600. Then you get a really, really good quality scan.

Scanning should be independent from printing so it shouldn't be a problem as long as you are running on Windows 7 or earlier. Window's 8 might be a problem. Hope this helps

I don't know the DPI, but the image sizes from my scans ran from 1.1 to 2.8 MB with most of them around 1.4 to 1.8. So, the clarity is good. These photos look sharp when I display them on my large screen TV

I can answer part of your question. The DPI button is small, located by your index finger, opposite the main left-click button.

It says the maximum dpi is 600. The resolution on photos is quite good, although it tends to print a bit dark.

The resolution for Color and Grayscale is only 300 dpi (on the Fujitsu ScanSnap iX500). For photos you may want a better scanner that provides 1200 dpi color resolution.

Bucar, Orderd the mouse scanner but didn't use it because resolution too low for my needs. Sorry can't help.
