Digital BW, The Print

I've been using this scanner for a few days. Bought one at buy.com and it
had lots of dust under the glass. Sent it back. Bought one at CompUSA (for
an added $50 or so) and it also had dust under the glass. Looked at my
girlfriend's Perfection 1240U and it, too, had dust under the glass. Seems
to be a problem with the Perfection series (my couple-year-old Canon didn't
have dust under the glass). On the other hand, it's a nice machine. Decent,
if not dedicated-film-scanner-quality, scans of black and white negaties,
and very nice scans of prints. Haven't tried it with transparencies, but
reviewers and users whose reviews I've read have liked it for that, too. The
dust is a problem on prints more than on negatives, at least in my
premliminary experiments.

Subject: [Digital BW] Scanner addition



Am adding an EPSON 2450 scanner ($349) to our two Polaroid SprintScan
4000's.  It will be used for scanning larger transparencies, chromes,
and negatives, as well as for print scanning.  I will use VueScan to do
the scans.

I would appreciate any tips, advice, or disagreement with the above plan...
