NOTE: Choosing the True Color RGB 36-bit setting captures more data than the 24-bit setting. This means that the file sizes listed above will be larger if you scanned images using the True Color 36-bit RGB setting.

Choosing the Best Resolution for Your Scanning Project

To choose the best resolution for scanning, determine what you are going to do with the image once it is scanned. Matching your scanning resolution to the image use will give you the best image for that purpose and will keep the file sizes to the minimum needed.
