My Microtek 600z seems to have died after 3 years. The three passes are significantly out of registration so Im shopping for a new scanner. Questions: 1) Is 30 bit really better than 24 bit? I do require good color fidelity. 2) Is one pass color 3 times faster than 3 pass? 3) Im under the impression that Umax, HP, and Microtek are respected brands. Are there other brands that work as well? 4) Why do the present generation of scanners have different numbers for x and y resolution. For example 400×800? Thanks for any words of wisdom. Ed
