The fact that there is still no sample scans has me heated - instead of showing us all these specs, how about some sample images!!

It doesn't seem to exist yet. The specifications are not specifications, they are design goals. I don't see how they can get the color coverage they're claiming with RGB LEDs.

Seems about as credible as a lot of the crowdfunded stuff.

Strobing RGB LEDs is how Epson's professional flatbeds do color. That's one of the more plausible aspects of the design, I think. No mention of IR though, so I suppose that means no dust correction.

The custom software package is clearly in its foobar stage. Loving the word "TextLabel" surrounded by a bunch of padding.
