With the LS4000 this *might* be achievable - that scanner is faster than the Polaroid
(by a whole bunch) and you have ICE to at least help deal with the dust. Maybe the
bulk slide feeder would help too. I'd still bet that 6 slides per hour would be the
limit, especially if you're hand-correcting colour on each of them. Of course, they'd
both still be faster than an Imacon where you have to demount the slides before
scanning. High-speed production isn't the strong suit of a desktop scanner.

IME with the Polaroid 4000, absolutely not. I achieve 1/hr - 4/hr,
depending mostly on the amount of time needed to spot out dust.
