Hi Patrick,

I cannot see any differences between the two 1200dpi scans. Please
create some debug output of a 1200dpi tiff scan and of a pnm scan.

You can enable debug output on the command line with 'export
SANE_DEBUG_PIXMA=11'.

To reduce debug output size, please scan a small area of 2mm x 2mm.

Cheers,
Rolf
