You may be right. Perhaps you could make a scan with the Minolta that 
closely matches the Epson's 2400 dpi. That's what I did: I just kept 
lowering the number until I got the closest match. 

This won't tell us the actual resolution, but it might give us a 
clue. I see the difference in your scans, particularly in your #2 
scans, which show the text on the bottles. In the Epson scan, they 
are almost illegible. I would politely ask, how low do you have to 
set the Minolta to match the Epson ?

Best wishes,
