Which scanner Microtek or Epson
I need a new multi-purpose scanner. I have a few boxes of slides, and quite
a few negatives to scan, but I also need to replace my antique Microtek scanner, and I can only afford to buy one multi-purpose scanner. I am wondering about the quality difference between the Microtek i700 Office Edition (love that ability to do legal size scans) or the Epson 4870 scanner. For my regular scanning needs, I scan documents and pictures, plus I really need to be able to use the scanner for slides and negatives. Can anyone advise me about these scanners? Thanks |

I have the Microtek 5900 and the Epson 2450. Love them both.
If I need higher quality I go for the KodakProPhotoCD for scans at a local service bureau that I trust. Yours, Tom "Lou" nospam@home wrote in message ... I need a new multi-purpose scanner.

After I posted this I finally found a review on the Microtek scanner and
found information on the Canon 9950F, which I didn't even know existed. The review said the Microtek was really slow. Thanks for your reply. "Tom Ellliott" wrote in message . ..
