Image Quality
The image quality from the Ricoh Aficio MP1350 was to a high standard across a wide range of document types using Text, Text/Photo, and Photo modes.
This is in part due to the
The most striking difference was in the Photo mode. This is normally an algorithm limited to half tone photographic reproduction with fine lines, text, and printed images suffering from poor reproduction due to the halftone screen data capture employed.
As the images and discussion highlight, the output from the Ricoh Aficio MP1350 in Photo mode was to a good standard across all document types and as expected surpassed other copy scanning algorithms when processing photographs.
Such is the quality of the Photo mode output that BERTL would recommend as the Default mode in environments where photographic reproduction plays a major part, resulting in more

Text: Fonts were well reproduced down to 4 point. Fine lines were also reproduced well down to a reasonable level for most users.
Text/Photo: Fonts and fine lines were reproduced very well
Photo: These are some of the best text and fine line reproductions BERTL analysts have seen to date with crisp lines down to very fine details and none of the breaking up that is commonly seen in Photo mode on compet- ing units. Only the very finest fine line patterns started to break up a little and then only to the trained eye.
