I had exactly the same experience. I found that using the target
transparency that came with my copy of 5.5 (included with my SS4000) to
generate an ICC profile gave 8-bit scans that were very close to the
original. When I tried high-bit scans I was entirely unable to wrench them

I couldn't resist throwing in my two bits (or eight bits, as the case may

capable of true 16 bits) because I had read that you lose less information

to look like what's on the screen. The results are sometimes quite
beautiful,
