What a great article! I'm so glad I stumbled upon your blog through my search for a new scanner. I will be exploring here again! In the meantime I do have a question......

I wondered if anyone here has any experience with scanning pencil/graphite drawings. Is it even possible? For me they usually come out very low contrast and the paper looks dull. If I push the contrast up, the marks go black and lose their texture and detail. Any suggestions or advice is very appreciated!
