comicsbuysell Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Hey all, I'm scanning CGC slabs with my Plustek A320E CCD scanner. I am using default scanner settings. I'm getting quite a few slabs that have a weird green tint in the photo after scanning. I am wondering what settings everyone else is using? Thanks!

Telegan Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 You may want to check this thread, too. I was set to buy an A320E for the new year, but as soon as the new year started, they jacked up the price by $100. I'm sure they'll give a $50 or $100 coupon on Amazon to make me think I'm saving a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NORRELL Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Today I noticed the same sort of strange behavior with scans of modern books that just came back from CGC. There is now a reflective glow up towards the label where3 before it scanned perfectly fine. I believe they have changed the material on the inner bag or something. My PlusTek works fine on older slabs I have but these new ones (again) have a problem. Kind of makes you want to pay the the $5.00 per book for the high res scans. (Or maybe that's their plan). Will post an update if I'm able to figure this out. Shannon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is if I'm reading correctly that it is the "newer slabs" that are "hard to scan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aman619 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 way too washed out colors. this scan is a bit juiced but the blues are much deeper than your scanner settings are capturing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
