Printer review: Canon S900 | ||||||||||
By Ian Burley | ||||||||||
Selected area is approximately two thirds of an inch or 17mm in width. This file was created by scanning a medium format film image printed by our review printers. The master scan was created at 2400dpi, using a HP ScanJet 5470C and re-sized to 600dpi and reproduced here at 1:1 (100%), at approximately 430 pixels in width. The re-sizing was followed by a light unsharp mask application to bring out detail slightly. The second, further magnified, image is a 2400 pixels per inch (ppi) scan reproduced here at 1:1 (100%), just over 400 pixels wide, representing about a sixth of an inch or around 4.5mm in actual width. | ||||||||||

When magnified, horizontal micro-baniding, following the path of the print head travel, is evident. It’s not as apparent as the S900’s vertical bands of screened dots, though. However, the 895 doesn’t retain as much detail as the S900.

Canon S800 Here is the prededcessor to the S900. The screen effect is also visible, but it’s less well defined compared to the S900. When magnified, the S800’s dots are slightly less well defined that then newer S900. However, this does slightly mask the screen effect that some find obtrusive in the S900. | ||||||||||
