The problems relate specifically to the operation and implementation of ICE on

Since the 2720 doesn't have ICE, the problems don't affect its operation.

I
suspect that the increased dynamic range is got by overscanning each line at
different exposures, and then
'stitching' the most significant bits from the lesser
exposure with the least significant bits of the higher one.
That
is how the Leafscan 45gets its high specs. Ituses 12 bit
Not true at least with Polaroid. Each manufacturer has there own technique.

Dynamic range couldn't mean density range. The the term dynamic range is
