When comparing a cheap scanner (under $100) such as the Plustek 96xx
series with a medium price scanner such as the so-called business-class HP
5200c, I can't tell what claims are due to the scanner hardware itself, or
simply the bundled software. Obviously, the bundled software does a Linux
user little good.
The HP has color correction, snap-to colors for areas of what should be
solid color, recognizes black and white line art and vectorizes it for
smooth scaling, etc. This _sounds_ all like software features to me, but
their wording in the specs implies that it's hardware, and I'm wondering
if the hardware itself is really much different beyond the optical DPI
resolution.
