I'll take a scanner that produces

This discussion is simple as Newcolor 7000 v2 is:
a. fully ICC savvy for scanner profiling
b. fully ICC savvy for soft-proofing
c. fully ICC savvy for proof-printing
d. fully improved LCh editing
e. full USM preview for selected area
f. full support for both PMT drum and CCD scanners
g. full support for 16 bit parametrized RGB, Lab and CMYK (dumping
raw scans to disk is non-sense workflow IMO)
h. full support for batch processing of prescans, scans, proof prints
and separations / prints without crashes (LinoColor Full Version for
Mac OS 7 - 8 - 9 has to try to multi-task the best it can, but
Newcolor for Win2K and soon for OS X multitasks without workarounds)
i. lack of Mac OS support
j. lack of mid-range support
Other than Mac OS and mid-range support, the only support missing is
marketing support. As for the Danish scanner vendors, that's a
catch-up game now as much as three years ago. The industrial
heavy-weight is not in the Copenhagen area, but a half hour south of
the border in Kiel. This may change, but as folks say over here, it's
hard to predict, especially about the future -:).
It's the same as comparing CompassProfiler with ProfileMaker, for
instance. The comparison doesn't get off the ground.
Just my two cents.
