![]() As my business became more and more scanning dependent and I had a few hundred scans under my belt, my standards became higher, and I came to find the Epson scan software very limiting. Silverfast was allot more difficult to figure out. When I first started scanning with an Epson 32oo and 4870 I used the Epson Scan software and thought it worked great. Plus since we are doing scanning for high-end national magazines and my museum exhibits we are allot pickier about results than most posters here. The difference is that we do far more scanning than most people and wear out scanners faster or detect flaws sooner than most people. The problems we encounter are not unusual in the slightest. My experience is not a typical if you cruise forums on scanning. Although you won't see this often since Adobe does not have to give away full PS to get folks to try it and the manufacturer of your device would have to pay too much to "up-feature" the bundle package. Lets say that you do not own Photoshop and a particular device you are considering comes with full Photoshop in a bundle - you would consider this package. Not to say the add-ons never have value but rather that unless you can prove to yourself that there is a very real benefit to you, don't spend the extra money. The software bundles that ship with various scanners, cameras and printers are largely marketing tools to provide price points and an attempt to differentiate one product from another. I'm not saying its bad either - its just that if cost is an issue then why pay more for something that you don't need? ![]() I also find the standard Epson scan driver to work very well - I see no advantage to Silverfast. ![]() The last three Epson scanners I've bought have been fine, first try. If Epson was shipping products that were that bad they'd be out of business. I think Kirk's experience is not typical.
