Manufacturer's product description
At 4000 dots per inch, the world looks a whole lot sharper. The new SprintScan 4000 35mm Digital Film Scanner from Polaroid has the highest resolution of any digital film scanner available today. At 4000 dpi, it produces a level of detail that simply cannot be matched by any other desktop scanner. Polaroid has a proven history of success with its family of SprintScan 35mm scanners.
