<EM>&gt; Hi,
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; at first I thought it was a problem with the driver I'm writing but
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; the Windows driver didn't deliver any better results. When scanning in
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; color at the highest resolution (300x600dpi), black letters on a white
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; background exhibit a green &quot;shadow&quot; to one side and a red &quot;shadow&quot; to
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; the other. The shadow is about 3-4 pixels high. I've put an example
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; here:
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; <A HREF="http://www.remote.org/frederik/tmp/gap8.ppm">http://www.remote.org/frederik/tmp/gap8.ppm</A>
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt;
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; You'll have to magnify the window to see it clearly.
</EM><BR>
<P>This looks like a common colour merging problem. In most scanners there
<BR>
is a physical separation between the red green and blue sensors. Most
<BR>
scanners just feed data to the host with this separation, and the driver
<BR>
needs to shuffle the scan lines to accurately merge the colours. You
<BR>
will find code to perform this function in several sane backends. A
<BR>
typical offset between each sensor row is 1/75 inch, but varies between
<BR>
models.
<BR>
<P>In your example scan, the physical shift looks quite small. It looks
<BR>
like the software is attempting to merge the colours, but doesn't use
<BR>
the correct physical offset.
<BR>
<P><EM>&gt; I would be very happy if someone who is a bit more experienced with
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; scanners than I am could look at this and tell me if this would be
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; considered &quot;normal&quot; in a medium-priced scanner (Fujitsu M3091, ca.
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; USD 800) or if I that should be considered a fault in this specific
</EM><BR>
<EM>&gt; model and I should send it back to the shop for an exchange?
</EM><BR>
<P>Today an $800 scanner is hardly mid range - its a rather expensive
<BR>
scanner. Even a $50 scanner usually merges the colours well enough that
<BR>
colour fringing is very hard to detect.
<BR>
<P>Regards
<BR>
