[filmscanners] HP PhotsSmart - questions
Hi,
Been reading the posts here for quite some time. Just got into
scanning. In fact the recent thread on Cheap Film Scanners woke me
up :-) I have one that's at the bottom of that heap. It's HP
PhotoSmart vintage 1997. SCSI interface, which makes it S10 I guess.
I'm using the current version of HP software from their Support site.
Did a calibrate with a white piece of paper (the card is gone). The
scanner was donated by a friend.
Now the question. I started with a simple color print (3x5) scan and
noticed that setting it to 150dpi gives a "sharper" result than
300dpi.
Can that be explained in any way? Saved as bmp and jpg, same
results.
Secondly, should I take the scanner apart and attempt to clean any
optical components? I'm quite handy with small tools :-) After
sitting for so many years and some usage by the previous owner, it
must have some film whatever the optical pickup is.
Regards,
Rich Koziol
