If you discard the fact that some of the colors you scan are out of the
monitor's gammut, that the scanned original looks different depending on
which light box you put it on top of, that much depends on the scanner or
retouching application's capability to reproduce colors correctly on screen,
etc., I guess so.

To name two clients, one takes pictures of ceramic pieces so it is a matter
of comparing the image to the ceramic piece that was digitized, and the
other digitizes planks of wood. With this client it is also easy to compare
the image to the wood plank.
