Sample scans, without retouching, from: - A consumer-grade Brother MFP-5840 - An enterprise-grade HP MFP M477dw - A consumer-grade HP Envy 5055 Surprisingly, the presumably crappy HP Envy scanner seems to yield results that are more neutral (less saturated, less contrasted) and much closer to reality. The histograms vary wildly from one scan to another. We cannot trust our eyes, but if you're reading this, you probably already know this.
