But some of the Plustek scans I've found exhibit the same kind of digital artifacting that had me so upset at that pro lab a few months back. So I guess those are out.
Some of the "artifacting" has more to do with the scan resolution than the scanner, since it's caused by a physical process somewhat analogous to the one that creates moire patterns.

Since that's a black-and-white image, I'm not sure what you're calling chromatic aberration. But that "speckly, grainy" look just comes from scanning at around 4000 dpi. There were some long discussions about this on PDML a few years ago that may be in the archives, but it starts when the scope of a scanned pixel is approximately the same physical size as the grains in the film.
