I'm looking for the best way (not only DPI) all around with a canon 4400F. Does the door need to be up? How much light is needed in the room at the time of scanning? ect.... What is the ultimate way to scan a card in a PSA SLAB>

Using a CCD scanner with the door up will give a nice black background. The disparity between similar CCD scanners you see in this thread is mainly due to software scan settings (sharpening, color adjustment etc.) and not how much ambient light is in the room when the scan is taken.

Matt,
What is the method you use to scan and what program do you use? I have a Canon 4400f (which has CCD) and I also have Adobe Photoshop 7 to do the rest of the work. I'm looking to scan my CJ's for use in my set at PSA registry.

I have an HP L7780 Multi-Function (uses CCD) and use HP's software to scan.
 I found that, for me, the truest color comes with the following software settings (used for the scan above): Highlights +25 Shadows -25 Sharpen Level Low 150 ppi Last edited by Matt; 07-26-2009 at 04:28 PM.

Mr. Steele
Could you please use another card? Tired of that T204 yet, name a price.

I started researching scanners today. Based on some of these posts, I focused on the Canon 8800F. Calvindog's scans are amazing.
Have any of the board members using the 8800F had problems with it running on Windows Vista? I realize this thread was originally and still is a bit off-topic. Happy New Year from SC... John

I use a HP officejet 7310xi all in one. I am very hapy with the mutliuse it provides as well as it being fairly reasonable in price.

I really liked the scans some (including Calvindog) were getting, so I purchased a Canon 8800F in 2009. I have only run it on a computer that has Vista o/s. I am using the software that came with the scanner, called PhotoStudio 5.5 to operate the scanner and edit the images. I'm very happy with the results. Problems? Well, a few times the software froze when other programs were running - they seemed to interfere with each other. I think iTunes was one of the offenders. But for the most part it runs very effectively. All the scans on my Photobucket page were done with this scanner.
