That's very surprising.  I have an SS4000 (not plus) and the scans I get are
better in every respect than I got with a 2710 that I was using.  What
software are you using? I used the Canon software with the 2710 and am using
VueScan with the Polaroid.

Hi Phil,

Will be anxiously awaiting your tests.

First impressions with the polaroid 4000 plus aren't as good as I was
expecting. The images scanned at 4000 DPI Optical are not as sharp as the
Canon
2710 FS which it was going to replace. I also got more shadow detail from
the
canon, but learning the software correctly would probably fix that. However
if
I can't get past the sharpness problem, I'll be returning it. The problem
may
be with the scanner, as the differenceis quite noticeable. The results
should
have been reversed.
