There seems to be a bit war in the scanner industry right now. We are starting to see some outrageous numbers of bits quote. The best real values are about 14 per color, or 42 overall. Anything more is fiction. In practice, most scanners only send 8 bits per colour to the host. The rest are lost in gamma
