If you decide to print out an image, you'll need 300 dpi, but if you're simply viewing them on a computer screen 150 dpi works fine. At 250-300 dpi, even with descreening, the dot patterns emerge (at least on my scanner). My computer has a "descreening option," which I apply to every scan. The disadvantages to larger dpi scans are: a) the files are bigger and b) the scans seems more vulnerable to getting dot patterns. I go with HP because: a) they seem to have decent customer service b) I've never had problems with their software c) I also have an HP printer and camera, so I only need one customer service phone number.Īs for the resolution of scans, If you're sole interest is viewing scans on your computer screen (ebay, photo galleries, etc.), I've been able to get by with 150 or 200 dpi on larger cards (all Topps issues) and 200-250 dpi on smaller issues (t206, early Bowmans, etc.). I've spent countless hours trying to get the best scans possible and here is what's worked for me. However, even my raw cards don't come out as well as some of the items above, so there must be something else in addition to the CCD/CIS thingy.) I understand that may make a difference in how the scanner focuses on a slabbed card. (BTW, I don't think that in my case it's necessarily just the CCD v CIS. Is it really just a matter of CCD v CIS? And if you already have a scanner, how can you tell which of these it is? I don't know what to adjust on it to make them clearer, except to pick professional or magazine mode or whatever. I love the scanner, but the pics are simply not to the level as a few of those shown above. Louis right now and don't remember what I actually have). I have some kind of Epson photo 48xx (I think - I'm in St. I have read the material before as to dpi not making any difference in an image displayed on a screen, and it makes sense.īut what then should we adjust on our scanners to make better images? I don't mean the "sharpen" options in a photo editor, but on an actual scanner? If I pick professional mode over casual mode (or whatever different scanners call them), then what is it the scanner is adjusting? And are there characteristics I can adjust individually?
